Hiroshi Teshigahara was this guy back in the 60's in Japan Right? Right. His dad founded an art's school right? But this ain't your typical kindergarten art's and crafts right? Right. They had pottery and stuff.
The Story: Boy makes a few surrealist films that own face. Dad dies. Boy takes over the school and focuses on documentaries. The documentaries are strangely surreal in their own right due to some interesting montage editing and rhythms, and the way the camera explores the architecture. I just found out he did a documentary on Gaudi's architecture in Barcelona. This thing, right:
There's turtles, chicken families, palm eyes and prophets in them thar pillars. But that's for another day.
Anyways, this is supposed to be about Toru Takemitsu who did a lot of scoring for Teshigahara and at some point decided to be one of the most important composers of the 20th century. I more or less just found this out. I want his job.
