Making of

The

Making of

In his experimental film, director Nakahira Yasuyuki (Into the Blue) transposes the legends of South American natives into a Japanese context. In a forest where the ego exists dead and alive at the same time, two villages try to destroy each other with fire. Dark Red was made at the same time as a play with a similar theme and was shot in only eight days with a minimal budget in a forest in Shizuoka province. The result is a cryptic stream of images that succeeds in creating its very own atmosphere.
