Basic Tsukamoto is essential, almost scholarly in its analysis and interview of what could be one of Japan's most influential, revolutionary vanguards in avant garde cinema, maybe in the whole world as well (next to the likes of David Lynch, David Cronenberg--both of which are highly compared to Tsukamoto, and even someone like Jan Svankmeyer.) As the sort of founding father/pioneer that would spearhead the cinematic likes of Takashi Miike and Ryuhei Kitamura, and the more obscure likes of Shozin Fukui). Study hard with this documentary; there's a pop quiz after this! ;-)
I have been a Tsukamoto fan for a bit and wasn't sure if I would learn anything from this dvd that I haven't already seen or heard before. I was happy to see footage from Tsukamotos' starting out films that I never saw before. There was film of his plays that he was in and shots of movies that he acted in. I was happy with the dvd and the information. It goes up A Snake of June.
