a note on FREELURVING in JAPAN



a brief continuation of the last post,
on the origins of the term free love
and hideki naganuma's home country
for all you freelurvers.

the 1969 film "eros + massacre,"
written and
directed by yoshida yoshishige,
is a biographical drama about
sakae ōsugi, a japanese anarchist
and supporter of free love... his wife and
two lovers, which got a little messy
when one of the lovers decided to stab him...
and his assassination in 1923.

often referred to as the guide to
understanding
japanese new wave.

so, there you have it,
some freelurving
japanese film history.
