'Se'-back

About This Movie

‘Se’-back is quite an intriguing piece that captures the essence of Gōzō Yoshimasu’s art. The film immerses you into a unique performance atmosphere where poetry meets avant-garde rock. Yoshimasu, blindfolded and masked, creates an almost surreal environment, enhancing the sensory experience of his words. It’s not just about the poetry; it's about how the visuals and sounds intertwine to evoke emotion. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to hang on his every word while the music from Kukan Gendai adds a layer of intensity. This blending of traditional poetry with modern soundscapes isn’t something you see every day. It’s a distinctive take on performance art that begs for a deeper reflection.
