| Video Discription | Besides being one of the most sought after character actors in Japanese film, with roles in Takeshi Kitano's Kikujiro, Seijun Suzuki's Zigeunerweisen and Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill Vol. 1, Akaji Maro is also a world-renowned butoh dancer and choreographer. Butoh, an avant-garde dance form created by legendary performer Tatsumi Hijikata in the late 1950's, has gone from its underground roots in Tokyo to packing theatres in Europe and North America. Maro, one of Hijikata's protégés, and his dance troupe Dairakudakan have played a crucial role in this spread of butoh dance across the globe. Each summer Maro and the members of Dairakudakan invite both professional dancers and curious amateurs to participate in an intimate dance retreat where they receive a crash course in the philosophy and practice of this fascinating art form. Director Kenji Okabe and famed cinematographer Yutaka Yamazaki (Hirokazu Koreeda's Nobody Knows and Still Walking) follow Maro and his students through one summer as they explore their movements and prepare to give a revealing butoh performance in the Japanese countryside. Throughout we are shown breathtaking performance footage of Maro and Dairakudakan culled from a storied 40-year career. The Naked Summer is more than just a dance documentary. It provides an in depth look at one of Japan's most beautiful and controversial cultural exports of the last century. w9TCpKVGHXU |
