Setsuko Hara Selected by Film Center, National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] October 26, 2017 18:00

harase005.JPG

At the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo Film Center, which stands on Kyobashi 3-chome, Kajibashi Street, as a special feature of "2015-2016 in memory of the deceased filmmaker" held from July to September of this year, "Setsuko Hara" will be selected from November 9th (Thursday), a collection of works performed by actress Setsuko Hara will be held.

harase006.JPG

The exhibition will be held on November 9 (Thu), 10 (Fri), 14 (Tue)-17 (Fri), 21 (Tue)-23 (Thu).

harase002.jpg

Speaking of Setsuko Hara, he was a former female actor who appeared in the work of Yasujiro Ozu, and the name "Gin Maku no Dai Star" was perfect.

"Late Spring", "Wheat Autumn", "Tokyo Monogatari" were good.

At the same time as Ozu's death, he was virtually retired, and after that he was quietly sent his later years, and died in 2015.

harase001.jpg

In this special exhibition, there are 11 books (9 programs) that allow you to see Mr. Hara's youthful appearance from the age of 15 to about 10 years when he made his silver curtain debut.

Except for "I don't regret my early spring", all of them are rarely screened at theaters, of which six are said to be newly created new prints.

I also saw 10 of the 11 books from "Throw the soul" in 1935 (Director of Nikkatsu Tama River, Tetsu Taguchi) to "No regret for my young spring" in 1946 (Director of Toho and Akira Kurosawa).

I think it's a very valuable opportunity.

Please check the screening schedule on the website of this film center before coming to Kyobashi.

In addition, with the cooperation of this film center, we provided images for the creation of this blog.

Thank you very much

syser004.JPG

I was surprised to learn for the first time that Bonn's street art is supported by the whole country in Thailand.

syser005.JPG

When you enter the venue, it is much darker than the lighting at the gallery's regular exhibition, and there are spotlights on the wall.

This indicates that the so-called "street art" is "what is drawn at night".

syser006.JPG

This exhibition features Bonn's trademark black birds, fish characters, and works depicting many eyes on a circular canvas.

syser007.JPG

There are mysterious paintings that are drawn powerfully with oil paints and sprays, and while using bright colors, it becomes unstable when viewed for some reason.

The theme is "System Error!" "Image disturbances, dubbings, and fluctuations that make the image "" are drawn, and they may stimulate the real experience in the viewer's brain and make them feel unstable.

syser009.JPG

In the project room in the gallery, there is also a video of about three minutes created by Mr. Bon for this solo exhibition. Indeed, "System Error !!" in modern society This is a video work that reminds us of a warning.
