No. 4

About This Movie

No. 4 is a curious experiment in avant-garde cinema, where close-ups of well-known figures' bottoms become both the medium and message. It’s a film that demands reflection, with its slow pacing and almost meditative tone. The simplicity of the visuals contrasts sharply with the complex themes of peace and connection that Ono intended. You find yourself drawn into a dialogue, not just about the images on screen, but what they represent in society. This work stands out not just for its content but for how it challenges conventional storytelling.

No. 4 has had limited formats released, making it somewhat scarce in the collector's market. Various screenings and retrospectives have kept interest alive, fueling attempts to source original prints. Its distinctiveness lies in its conceptual approach rather than traditional narrative structure, appealing to those who appreciate experimental works. While not mainstream, it finds a niche among collectors who value the boundary-pushing nature of art films.
