Happy Days of Mr. M

Happy Days of Mr. M

1979 • 20 min
Unidentified people appear around the protagonist, Mr. M. No matter how many times he wakes up, he cannot escape from his dream. In a speeding, deserted subway, Mr. M falls asleep again. This is Yamazaki's second work in his filmography. Reflecting on the fact that his first 8mm drama, "The Melancholy of Poplar Trees," was less than a school play, he decided to make this film to see how much he could do within his own field of expertise. He unashamedly quotes various films, including Masanobu Nakamura's "Autumn in Beijing". An interesting precursor to his works " Anti-Interpretation" "Memories of the Seaside," and "Ghosttown at Dawn". This filmwork won the Student Encouragement Award at the 1980 Fuji 8mm Contest.

Regardez jusgu'd la fin

1979 • 46 min
8mm film work from 1979 by the Film Studies Department of Bunkyō University. Directed by Mikage Sagisu. It is a feature film depicting the emotional journey of two women through love and romance. The film overflows with a vivid sensitivity characteristic of a female director. The French title means something like “Look at the end.” (It seems that there is a typographical error in the actual title.) The original film print does not have a magnetic sound track, so it is likely that the audio was played from a cassette tape in sync during screenings. Unfortunately, the audio tape has been lost, and it is now impossible to know what lines the characters were speaking in the film. The condition of the film itself is relatively good, and it appears it has rarely been screened since it was made, but it strongly conveys the atmosphere of the late 1970s. It would be a real shame not to watch it solely because it is now silent.
