Like many other artists born in the 19th century, Kaita Murayama met a tragic end. His future as a young painter and prodigious poet was brutally cut short by tuberculosis which took his life in 1919, when he was aged just 22. Having been forgotten by the general public, Murayama is now being celebrated on the hundredth anniversary of his death after around one hundred of his early works were unearthed. Known for his flamboyant, wild, impulsive and indeed inflammatory style, Murayama uses flat tints of red paint to make his subjects' skin stand out against a dark background.

Hisayasu Sato, who once more manages to leave his pinku film past behind, through an avant-garde film this time, but also to retain a sense of (perverse) sensualism, offers a surreal, intense, experimental movie that draws much from the artist's life and work.
