Synopsis
Taking inspiration from the haunting Japanese subversive art form Butoh, the film offers a cinematic interpretation of this singular style of expression. With high contrast, exaggerated grain, abstracted colours and flickering frames, A MONSTER WITH ITS MOUTH AGAPE captures the unsettling and chaotic climate of post-war Japan. Featuring a rare audio recording of Butoh master Yoshito Ohno.
