This movie is the artistic love child of revolutionary filmmaker and unrelenting insurgent Masao adachi and of Philippe Grandrieux, agitator of images and producer of cinematic seizures, whose impressionistic approach conjures up ghostly envi- ronments suffused with ambiguity. the result avoids any literal or forced adaptation of history, magically revealing the buddhist passivity and unwavering rebellion of a man of faith. a political portrait for a new politics of portraiture.
