Review

Modulating between a psychological study on alienation and disenfranchisement, and a rallying cry for activism and sociopolitical r evolution for the late 1960s counter-cultural generation, Terayama´s delirious montage of fragmented, asequential, and imbalanced images reflect the internal chaos and uncertainty of an impoverished man and his equally dysfunctional family.
