Mariko Kaga in Pleasures of the Flesh (Nagisa Oshima, 1965)

Cast: Katsuo Nakamura, Mariko Kaga, Yumiko Nagawa, Masako Yagi, Toshiko Higuchi, Hiroko Shimizu, Shoichi Ozawa, Kei Sato, Rokko Toura, Fumio Watanabe, Hosei Kamatsu, Akiji Kobayashi. Screenplay: Nagisa Oshima, based on a novel by Futaro Yamada. Cinematography: Akira Takada. Art direction: Yasutaro Kon. Music: Joji Yuasa.

With a burst of bluesy music, Pleasures of the Flesh starts out like a film noir, and the plot setup follows suit. The young tutor to a pretty teenager kills a man who has molested her, but the act has been witnessed by a man who has embezzled funds from his place of work. In an attempt to blackmail the tutor, the embezzler says he won't tell the police if the young man will hide 30 million yen of the loot. The embezzler expects to be arrested, he says, but he'll return for the money after serving his prison sentence. If the tutor has spent any of it, he'll tell the police about the murder. The tutor reluctantly agrees, but then the plot not unexpectedly begins to tangle. The tutor, Atsushi (Katsuo Nakamura), is in love with the teenager, Shoko (Mariko Kaga), but too poor to win her parents' approval. He's so devastated when she marries that he begins to lose his mind. The embezzler has in fact gone to prison, and Atsushi decides to live it up on the 30 million yen, then kill himself when the embezzler has served his term. And so begins a series of flings with four women, each of whom he pays to live with him. There's a showgirl with a gangster boyfriend, a married woman whose husband is desperately in debt, a doctor who insists on remaining a virgin, and a mute prostitute with a thuggish pimp. None of these attempts to wallow in the titular pleasures of the flesh ends well, and then, just as Atsushi spends the last of the money, he learns that the embezzler has died in prison. As if that outcome weren't ironic enough, the embezzler also told a fellow inmate about the 30 million yen he had stashed with Atsushi and when he's released he comes in search of the money. It's a moral tale straight out of Boccaccio or Chaucer, but writer-director Nagisa Oshima is faced with modernizing it and doesn't quite succeed. There's a bit too much fancy camerawork as Oshima interpolates Atsushi's obsessive visions of Shoko and paranoid ones of the embezzler into the narrative. The moral tale still feels heavyhanded. But Pleasures of the Flesh is the work of a major filmmaker at the outset of his career, and as such rewards watching.

Hula Fulla Dance, il film si prepara ad uscire nelle sale giapponesi con un nuovo trailer

La pellicola verrà proiettata a partire dal 3 dicembre.

Pubblicato un primo trailer esteso di “Hula Fulla Dance”, che anticipa il tema musicale dell’originale film d’animazione prodotto da BANDAI NAMCO PICTURES (Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun, Aikatsu on Parade!). 

Il brano si intitola “Sunflower” ed è interpretato dalle Philosophy no Dance (Mahoka Koko no Yutosei).

Assieme al video è stata svelata anche un nuovo poster ufficiale per il film, che potete vedere qui di seguito. In seguito al posticipo, la pellicola sbarcherà nei cinema giapponesi il 3 dicembre.

Il lungometraggio è ambientato nella prefettura di Miyagi e, come “Misaki no Mayoiga” e “Backflip!” (che potete recuperare in streaming su Crunchyroll), fa parte di un’iniziativa per commemorare i 10 anni dal devastante terremoto e conseguente tsunami che ha colpito la regione di Tōhoku.

Il film è diretto da Shinya Watada (Aikatsu Stars!, Gundam Build Divers) con la supervisione di Seiji Mizushima (Fullmetal Alchemist, Gundam 00). La sceneggiatura è curata da Reiko Yoshida (K-ON!, Violet Evergarden), il character design è ad opera di Hiroko Yaguchi (Beatless, Aikatsu!) e le musiche sono composte da Michiru Oshima (Fullmetal Alchemist, Bloom Into You).

Sing a Song of Sex (Nagisa Oshima, 1967)

Cast: Ichiro Araki, Kazuko Tajima, Juzo Itami, Akiko Koyama, Koji Iwabuchi, Kazuyoshi Kushida, Hiroshi Sato, Nobuko Miyamoto, Hiroko Masuda, Hideko Yoshida. Screenplay: Tsutomu Tamura, Mamoru Sasaki, Toshio Tajima, Nagisa Oshima. Cinematography: Akira Takada. Set decoration: Jusho Toda. Film editing: Keiichi Uraoka. Music: Hikaru Hayashi. Politics and pornography intersect in Sing a Song of Sex, a film which, though it has four credited screenwriters, was largely improvised by its young cast. It's set at a time of political demonstrations, during which the teacher (Juzo Itami) of a group of young men preparing for their examinations tells them that bawdy songs -- the film's Japanese title has also been translated as A Treatise on Bawdy Songs -- are themselves a political statement, a way for the poorer classes to find release from oppression. And so the lines between fantasy and reality are blurred in the film as the young men act, if only in their imaginations, upon their desires, many of which focus on the pretty Mayuko (Kazuko Tajima), whom they depersonalize by referring to her by her seat number in class, 469. Often enigmatic, Sing a Song of Sex is the kind of film for which it's best that many of us just go along for the ride rather than to try to unravel its social and political implications, which are very much of a particular time and place.

BAM BALAM RECORDS Special

Bam Balam est une aventure passionnante. Basé à Bordeaux, le magasin fondé par JJ Arnould en 1982 (l’un des plus vieux de France encore debout, donc) a tout vécu : l’avènement du CD, la chute du vinyle puis son retour en grâce. Il est également devenu label en 2006 afin de sortir le second album des SACRED SAILORS (garage/psych suédois). Un doigt dans l’engrenage... Tu connais le couplet. JJ tâtonnera quelques temps avant de véritablement prendre son envol en 2013 en enchaînant les sorties pour ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE et son leader maximo Kawabata Makoto, les cinglés portugais de SIGNS OF THE SILHOUETTE (mélange incroyable de psyché, d’impro libre et de black métal étouffant) ou bien encore notre star locale Michel Henritzi. Musiques en marge, collaborations réussies, esthétiques tranchées : les disques édités par Bam Balam transpirent la passion. 2016 marque la naissance d’une amitié discographique solide avec Richard Pinhas et l’installation définitive du label bordelais dans le paysage musical français. 

2017 : JJ revient avec quatre nouvelles sorties aptes à retourner mon cerveau endolori par une ingestion abusée de pop music mainstream (faut dire aussi que j’aime beaucoup ça).

Si je passe totalement à côté du Hekizan de GAKUSEI JIKKEN SHITSU (réunion au sommet entre Yuko Oshima - batteuse de DONKEY MONEY et GANJIN -, l’électronicien Hiroko Ono et la saxophoniste des SAX RUINS Ryoko Ono), son éreintant fourmillement d’idées tarées à la seconde et sa violence digne d’un DISCORDANCE AXIS sous speed en 45rpm, et cela malgré une pochette invitant pourtant à la méditation, je tombe en revanche sous le charme d’Orient, premier album de la chanteuse FUJI-YUKI. Moitié du duo drone SARRY, celle-ci s’emploie à créer par la puissance de sa voix un univers intérieur à la fois intimement lié aux troubles de sa psyché tout en restant profondément ouvert sur le monde qui l’entoure. De mantras vocaux puissants hérités de son intérêt pour la culture Bouddhiste à des incursions dans la musique industrielle tribale, tout est mis en place sur ce beau disque pour te faire voyager à travers les étoiles sans que tu aies à lever le cul de ton fauteuil. C’est aussi sublime que réussi. 

Plongeons nous également dans cette autre beauté nippone qu’est l’unique album de SQUIMAOTO. Sorti il y a dix ans en format CD, cet éponyme reçoit enfin le traitement de faveur digne de sa condition après avoir été redécouvert et récemment réévalué par l’indéboulonnable Makoto. Réduite à sa plus pure expression (5 titres pour le vinyle contre 9 pour le CD), la musique du trio féminin originaire de Kobe envoûte sans que l’on s’en rende bien compte, ni que l’on sache vraiment pourquoi. La torpeur de la répétition noie la fausseté apparente des chants dans un tourbillon mélodique évanescent. Quelques réminiscences new-yorkaises à la SONIC YOUTH font surface, mais un SY débarrassé de toutes ses hormones masculines et dont la batteuse aurait peut-être un peu trop écouté les SHAGGS. Certains riffs, notamment ceux de Upo Palace et Schtumm & Restless, tournent véritablement à l’obsession trouble et t’amènent, tels des sirènes hurlant à la mort, à revenir constamment vers les rivages feutrés de cette étrangeté musicale.

Mais le véritable bijou de ce nouveau lot de sorties, au risque de ne pas te paraître dans mon état normal, c’est bien ce fabuleux OVNI musical qui voit réunis dans un même studio le londonien Robert G. Rough (field recorder émérite) et le Polonais Karol Wojtyla (batteur/saxophoniste n’entretenant aucun lien de parenté avec le pas vraiment regretté Jean Paul II). Sobrement baptisé ROUGH & WOJTYLA, le duo balance deux faces d’improvisation nuancée aussi imprévisibles que passionnantes. Constructions sonores fragiles et sensibles, explosions bruitistes, éclats de mélodies desséchées, piano qui boite, batterie schizophrène, chants intériorisés. Il faut payer attention aux détails. Aux silences. Tout est question de concentration. Le prix de cet effort : le coup de foudre pour une oeuvre courageuse, radicale et grandiose, aux confins du jazz, du krautrock et de l’avant-garde la plus exigeante. Vivement la suite.
