An Attempt to Describe the Measure of a Man · 1978
An Attempt to Describe the Measure of a Man (1978) is a film directed by Shūji Terayama, starring Toshihiko Hino, Momo Yaguchi.
Overview
Using bluescreen video techniques, Terayama playfully—and with a silent film theatricality—posits a series of postmodern vignettes featuring realities-within-realities as his protagonist attempts some kind of relationship with a nude woman on the screen-within-the-screen. In his struggles to “free” her, he exposes the absurd flimsiness, deceptiveness and mutability of both the cinema experience and our human dimension.
