Kōji Wakamatsu

The Secrets Behind The Walls (1965)

Analysis ⤵

K��ji Wakamatsu "When desires, violations and sexual hopeless souls turn into abstract political concerns"

The movie begins with this scene, a very wide open desirous eye belonging to Makato (a failed student obcessed with american pornography magazines) staring into our empty minds, immediately making us feel the intense and suffocating atmosphere of voyeurism . 

" The eye contains man´s whole world, his inner essence..." as the Bambara people say.

Now take a look...

As the film develops an eye scene reappears, but each time different, we see a more closed eye, a darker side of the mind, a loss of conscience, malicious voyeurism.

A look of malice and violence, such a disorder devoured with the wish for decadence. Wakamatsu uses the layering tecnique to express it more intensively, overlaping Makato`s eye whit dark images. S By the end of the movie, before the boy erupts and makes his sister and his neighbor victims of his frustations, the last eye scene appears...

The last sigh, the last drop of this frustation falls, between his sister naked body while the silk bath foam slips between her thighs, reflecting in Makato's obscene dark eye...

The "empty scenes" occupy a big part of this film, perhaps one of the best scenarios to show it, it`s also at the beginning : the sedentary windows.

"it feels like we are in a prison, so closed" "after all, Japan is full of these crates, full of cubicles."

Home becomes the most dangerous place, the characters can`t get rid of themselves and their hopeless thoughts, broken dreams... So... like monkeys in a room full of mirrors, they start to lose themselves, things start to fall apart, realities start to lack meaning...

I end this analysis whit the iconic image, of the affair whit the keloid scar man and Stalin`s poster on the background .Wispering :

"You are the symbol of anti-war, I will never forget war, until I  still love you..."

Actually, this woman is more in love for what her lover stands for, than her lover by itself. By his keloid, the perfect metaphor for a anti-war symbol.

You can see, how all this is a critic, a political abstract critic...

japanese gay pinku (erotic) films have really piqued my interest lately. this movie's the first and only one i've seen so far. a quirky, 33-minute no-dialogue art film depicting gay hookup culture. just a quick dive into letterboxd lists and you can easily pick a handful of gay pinku films to watch, thing is that it's quite hard to get a hold of them since they're mostly niche b-films. god bless the kind souls who provide online copies of obscure movies (of any genre), honestly. i think i saw this one on dailymotion? i'm not entirely sure. but the search is part of the fun!!!
