> In the 1960s, Adachi Masao was ubiquitous on the Japanese film scene. He made stunningly surreal experimental films. He exploited the soft-core pink film to political ends. He wrote scripts for the likes of Oshima Nagisa and Wakamatsu Koji, and played bit parts in their films. He also wrote important essays on political cinema. In the 1970s, Adachi made a documentary with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and took the film around Japan on a red bus. Shortly after that, he left on what he calls his “business trip” (shutcho) to Lebanon, where he went underground with the Japanese Red Army for over 25 years. After arrest, extradition and some jail time, he’s once again ubiquitious in Japanese film culture. What’s more, he’s been discovered outside of Japan and celebrated for his militantly political cinema. There’s a sense, however, that he may be celebrated, but not taken seriously. At his word, as it were. This is an attempt to rethink Adachi’s cinema through the rubric of violence and pain, both imagined and real.
