For My Shibari-addicts...

"Bondage" (発禁本「美人乱舞」より責める !) a 1977, 83' Noboru Tanaka's film,
on arte tonight.

"In the intimacy of the artist - adept of bondage (shibari> 縛り) - and of his models.
Freely based on the life of painter-photographer Seiu Ito."

His models: his two wives and a
prostitute whose resemblance to
his first wife dragged him into one
Sade-style spiral.










If the story takes all points of view, the photographer's and model's behaviour and
feelings prevail in such an extent that the stressful practice of bondage appears as
naturally admitted.



"I think Nikkatsu's position in the industry is unique. It's a large company,
but we worked on one single concept, sex, for 18 years, and made a very
large number of films. Having sex is an activity where we clearly show our
true natures. Examining the relationships between men and women is one
of the best ways to show the essence of human beings. So we thought that
by working with the theme of sex, we could explore ourselves more deeply
and express the very core of the world."
[Noboru Tanaka - 1937-2006]

Shibari or the Art of Eroticism.

A fascinating sight of Japanese traditions and codes through the
looking glass of film maker Xavier Brillat.
His film, Haruki Yukimura & Nana-Chan, (2006/38mn), featured
in many film festivals and recently broadcasted by arte TV channel.

unknotting art in an intimate atmosphere made of soft sounds and impressive images.
