Eureka

I am searching to source some incredible 2nd line footage featuring the Eureka Brass Band. None of the major libraries seem to recognize it...so I'm throwing it out to fans to help with the hunt...

didn't understand a gd minute of this. theresa russell was p hot tho

me neither but still, it's a fun ride.

you can look around kyushu on streetview. i wanted to go there after seeing this anyhow.

has anyone seen anything else of aoyama's?

some weeks i can't get this film out of my head. even its potential corniness/melodrama is transformed into something else. it speaks to me, maaaan.

yeah i was thinking about it the other day, it's a beautiful film

i've seen Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani? (2005) his film about some apocalyptically inclined noise dudes which i don't remember well but it was rather good without approaching eureka

the rest of his recent work seems quite mainstream going by the synopses, i am mindful of watching some of them eventually but i retain the hope he returns to the long take 4 hour sepiatone elegies

yeah i don't know why i haven't tracked down anything else he's done. i guess Eureka feels like a spectacular one-off in many ways, and as i say you can easily imagine it slipping into excess if it wasn't for the fantastic pacing and the spooked-out tone

my favourite film of the 2000s probably
