This classic Japanese experimental documentary focuses on the social upheaval and oppression that roiled Japan in the 1960s.
Director Masao Adachi’s 1969 film A.K.A. Serial Killer defined Japanese 'landscape theory'. Inspired by Marxist film criticism, this theory posited that the visible landscape around us, from its most picturesque to its most banal aspects, is a pure expression of the dominant political power.
R, 86 minutes, 1975
