“Marudororu No Uta” was Shuji Terayama’s 27-minute attempt to visualize
the Comte de Lautreamont’s “Les Chants De Maldoror”, a series of
hallucinatory and disturbing prose-poems which were a big influence on
the Dada-ists and early Surrealists… Images juxtapose and overlap during
scenes awash in lurid colors, weird action sequences move behind strips
of static Japanese text and collage art… Nude forms glow in clips of
bondage, human personnel interact absurdly with animal counterparts,
while a hand randomly scribbles caligraphy at various points throughout…
However plotless, this experimental silent short has bizarrely
intriguing imagery and an interesting soundtrack, and is worth the view
for its artistic merit…
Japan, 1977, 30 min
