I get this same sense whenever I see DeAntonio/Lampson/Wexler's 'Underground', so perhaps it's encoded into the DNA of every film about white people who've got revolution on the brain.<BR/><BR/>I think it'd make a nice head-scratcher of a double-bill with Terayama's 'Throw Away Your Books, Rally in the Streets'.<BR/><BR/>Nice blog, Zach.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10161060.post-1139831937703152082006-02-13T06:58:00.000-05:002006-02-13T06:58:00.000-05:00Amazing film - frustrating and disorienting in all...Amazing film - frustrating and disorienting in all the right ways.<BR/><BR/>Another double bill: <I>Ice</I> with Nagisa Oshima's <I>The Man Who Left His Will On Film</I>, which came out in the same year according to IMDB, and is in the same leftist/revolutionary vein. The latter's significantly more 'meta' though, using film as its revolutionary weapon of choice.Mubarak Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04628917065083772357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10161060.post-1139794577758161852006-02-12T20:36:00.000-05:002006-02-12T20:36:00.000-05:00I hadn't though about the connection really, but I...I hadn't though about the connection really, but I suppose I can see it.
