183. Butterfly dress pledge (1974)


Country: Japan
Directed by Shuji Terayama

One of my favorite shorts of the director, this film, even if in some moments looks a bit pretendious, is incredibly powerful , with unforgetable images and a poetry that is directly connected with the subconscious. Terayama is the best on exposing the animal nature of human existence and the its contradiction with the civilization and the social norms: at the end the guilty pleasure of our desires became sad, grotesque and nightmarish. However, regarding the film you can have as many interpretation you want as it is an unclassified explosion of the director's imagination
