Short Film - Kusama's Self-Obliteration (1967)

Yayoi Kusama does the art direction and CLA. Change do the music in this mega-trippy film about her work at the time. Outdoes Warhol and his factory, and pre-empts all the euro and krautrock art and music. I liked the part where fruit becomes spaceships. 24mins of brilliance. Beware, some gentlemens' 'unmentionables' start flapping around near the end...

Kanashimi no Belladonna (1973) - Film

Very very strange exploitation, occult, porn, animation that is somehow superb! Men come out of this very badly indeed (the sad excuse for a husband in particular). I don't want to spoil the surprises and spectacular artwork, because it is all about pacing. It starts very slowly, and is very down and depressing (and feminists will blow a gasket, with no little justification!) but stick with it because there are reasons for this. It's loosely based on a book called The Witch, and the Director (Eiichi Yamamoto) was seriously into Aubrey Beardsley at the time. If you can get past the muck this is a cult-classic.
