Mr. O’s Book of the Dead (1976)
『O氏の死者の書』
88 minutes
Mr. O's Book of the Dead is the final instalment in an experimental film trilogy by documentary filmmaker Chiaki Nagano and pioneering butoh dancer Kazuo Ohno. Shot in numerous places across Japan from Lake Shikotsu in Hokkaido to Yokodai Pig Farm in Kanagawa, the film features “Mr. O” (Kazuo Ohno) and a troupe of his students, including Mitsuyo Uesugi. In an interview, Nagano once stated “to die is to be resurrected at the same time”, and that this film was “about one of our deaths, and a starting point towards somewhere new”.
Dette er en spesiell film det ikke går an å se noe sted (bortsett fra ved arkivet Tokyo og diverse andre visninger). Uesugi er også med i filmen).
