Jun Kurosawa – hi ka ri (1988)
From DVD booklet:
The works recorded here are made by Jun Kurosawa mainly in his years
at university.
The remarks on Jun Kurosawa’s works have been focusing on his
impulse of destruction, which are expressed in degenerative keywords
such as “death” and “thanatos”: whereas aesthetical images are
also often mentioned. Is it because his distinct features help them to
establish such images? The features can be described as “film scratch”
and “harsh noise,” all of which can be found in his masterpieces such
as “NEKO-MIMI (1994)” and “JESUS WITH ONE LEG (1991-1994).”
The viewpoint regarding the world through lense; an object divided
into parts by recording frame by frame; the sunlight shining on the
surface of different things; and daily things that remind viewers of
Jonas Mekas’s films; the shadow of light stick to the film by camera
and disposure… All these films seem to be too sensitive because
they pursued the mystery and beauty of film as a substance. If we pay
attention to their formal features, they could be summarized by words
like “structural” and “diary.”
The combination of the selection of subjects and calculated trick
shooting in each film, alongside with the music composed by the
filmmaker truly implied something. But still, the meaning is ambiguous
and cannot be described with words.
As the filmmaker metaphorically represents the “romanticism as love
towards mineral,” they are gathered through the act of shooting (the
physical movements on camera) and they are a collection of images being put
in the film; these meanings are to be interpreted by the audience.
