Laura. Shūji Terayama 1974 (excerpt) will be part of 'Pestoni's Picks' screening on Sunday, July 26 starting at 7PM. In 'Laura' the attack against the cinematic apparatus becomes a consummation between performer and spectator, which as a mark of Terayama’s outrageous wit, was reputedly inspired by the unfulfilled affair between Laura and Alec in the 1945 British feature, 'Brief Encounter.' The appearance onscreen of outrageous painted strippers who hurl insults at the audience is a cue for one spectator to literally enter the screen, from which he emerges clutching his torn clothes, after being stripped and assaulted on celluloid. Shūji Terayama (1935-1983) was an avant-garde Japanese poet, dramatist, writer, film director, and photographer. #Laura #ShūjiTerayama #PestonisPicks (at 356 S. Mission Rd)
