On February 28, 2008 the restored version of Eraserhead was re-released in Tokyo. Here’s some Jack Nance art to mark the occasion!

The Garden of Torment, a 1976 French film based on Octave Mirbeau’s 1899 novel.

Set in China in the 1920s, the warlord era.

Erotic, arty, provocative, disturbing and convincingly decadent. The main female character is both evil and weirdly sympathetic.

There’s definitely a strong de Sade influence here.

Very highly recommended.

Some 2022 movie viewing highlights

I Start Counting (1969). Offbeat British fairy tale thriller.

The Collector (1965). A young man collects butterflies, and girls.

La Piscine (1969). Euro-decadence.

Tokyo Drifter (1966). Inspired Japanese neo-noir craziness.

Trans-Europ-Express (1966), a movie by Alain Robbe-Grillet called Trans-Europ-Express about a writer-director played by Alain Robbe-Grillet planning a movie called Trans-Europ-Express. Yes, it’s all very postmodern.

It's a wonderfully playful and enticing mixture of thriller, fun and artiness (yes such a combination was possible in those happier days).
