Film8.0BelgeselTV MovieIn Japanese theater, women's roles are traditionally played by men. The man playing the woman's role, the Onnagata, does not imitate the woman, as in the West, but tries to capture her significance. He need not stick close to his model, but draws far more from his own identity - a shift of value takes place, which is nonetheless not a step beyond. THE WRITTEN FACE is an attempt to offer an insight into the Japanese Kabuki star Tamasaburo Bando, one of the last defenders of this ancient and disappearing performing tradition.
Film6.6FantastikRomantikDemon Pond (1979) – Mit ve Gerçek Arasında Büyüleyici Bir Alegori Terayama Shūji’nin yönettiği Demon Pond (Yashagaike, 1979), Japon halk hikâyelerinden beslenen, görsel ve anlatısal açıdan etkileyici bir sinema deneyimi sunar. Film, izleyiciyi mitoloji, doğa ve insan kaderi arasındaki ince çizgide bir yolculuğa çıkarırken, geleneksel Noh ve Kabuki tiyatrosunun estetiğini modern sinema diliyle buluşturur. Hikâye, uzak bir dağ köyünde, Demon Pond adlı gizemli bir gölde yaşayan bir varlığa bağlı olarak gelişir. Ana karakter, bu doğaüstü dünyanın içine çekildikçe, gerçeğin algılanışı ve kaderin kaçınılmazlığı üzerine derin bir sorgulama başlar. Terayama’nın teatral anlatımı ve rüya ile gerçek arasında gidip gelen atmosferi, filmi sadece bir halk masalından ibaret olmaktan çıkarır ve felsefi bir boyuta taşır. Destansı görselliği ve şiirsel anlatımıyla Demon Pond, insanın doğayla olan ilişkisini sorgulayan, hipnotik bir sinema deneyimi sunar.
