As Japan received much investments by America and the old suppressive regime was removed after the war an flowering subversive film culture emerged.. One that often looked deep in to the human nature.. It was an ambition to look further in beyond the culture and the shame.. In to the really primitive..
Because of it we got a lot of very good and important films about unhinged, violent and perverted behavior. This films are not to be seen as encouragement to this behavior but are rather made out of the insight that acknowledgment of the absolute primitive and the selfish nature of the human being were the only way to not get ensnared in the trap of false self holyfication while still acting out the same primitivistic behaviors but uncontrollably while vehemently denying it and covering it up under an ever increasing amount of formalism, false moral and gold covered regalia. . The same can be seen in the liberal attitude to perverted sex in Germany.. Let the pig out a bit to have some air and fun in a controlled manner (role play) so that it doesn’t get insane, madly demanding and un-manageable. It is an humble admission that we have an animal inside us that needs love, understanding, acknowledgement and satisfaction to be manageable enough to let us build a working human society with our intellects. From this perspective, much of criticism of pervert behavior or expressions seam naive and actually hostile to the true possibility of upholding an civil society.
One kind of have to choose between a true, humble, wild and complicated society and an holy, uniform, shiny PICTURE of one.
This choice and how honest we manage to communicate about it effects all of us and also our politics and our understanding of them. In the chaos that ensue from NOT talking about it.. a lot of double play are given space to be going on. That is why being the image of the bad is not always that bad but rather civil.
This film is about the break down of the uniform costume, The cracks.. The insane pain of trying to keepin it together. The first step. And as such it is an acknowledgement and an support and an shamanic act. Medicine.
