At the International Film Festival Rotterdam, Gary P. Cohen's 'Video Violence' exemplifies low-budget creativity through a story about a video clerk discovering local snuff filmmakers. This film, screened alongside Albert Birney’s 'Melody Electronics', reflects on the nostalgia of VHS culture. In contrast, 'Yasuko, Songs of Days Past' delves into the life of poet Nakahara Chuya, using rich cinematography and lyrical storytelling to explore themes of love and madness, highlighting the diversity of artistic expression in contemporary cinema.
Cohen's delightful video nasty harks back to an era when Fangoria magazine ruled the supermarket magazine rack, celebrating the lost art of VHS renting and moviemaking.
Yasuko, Songs of Days Past, features the lush lighting and painterly cinematography that enhances the sensuous narrative of a poet's tragic life and loves.
