You should have brought it back by this morning

What are you taking? There's nobody here.

We have something more important to film

Don't touch that! You don't even know how to use it

Give it back! We're goin' to use it today!

What are you taking?

You could take landscapes anytime

What are you trying to do? Give it back!

Where are you going?

Wait a minute! Wait! Give the camera back!

Damn it! Where are you going?

Wait! Give it back!

Give the camera back!

Damn! Wait!

Where are you running? Give back the camera!

You trying to commit suicide?

Hey, wait! Wait!

It's my camera! Give it back!

We're holding you as a witness!

Give it back!

He's coming around

Motoki, you all right?

You don't have to get up

I have to get the camera back

Sorry, if I hadn't fallen just then...

The camera...

The cops won't give it back

It wasn't broken? What was on the film?

Have the cops developed it?

We've got no idea

The cops just keeping talking about evidence

A Bolex is really fragile

I wonder if it was alright when I fell

The cops don't know the first thing about cameras

They've probably popped the lid and exposed all the film

They stole the film for evidence

They have enough sense not to ruin it

Let's at least go and protest

That's why we've been waiting for you to get up

All our talking couldn't wake you

You were out like a light!

We thought you'd never get up

I'm up now. Let's go!

We've got to get my camera

Your camera?

I mean...

So that's the way you feel

You've still got the idea of personal property

You needn't get upset

Did Motoki go after the cops...

...because he wanted to resist repression?

Or was he only trying to protect his property?

This is an important question

But you can't blame him

Motoki really cared about the equipment

When I've got the camera, I feel like it's mine, too

When the cops closed in, I tried to protect my camera

Because I was thinking about the camera...

...I tripped and fell

Materialistic bourgeois consciousness

Ownership is a betrayal of the proletariat!

If I'd lost the camera...

It's my fault too

Bourgeois materialism personal ownership, betrayal!

Yazawa, you talk big...

But would you have run after the cops like Motoki?

That's irrelevant

Mindless activist!

Dogmatist!

Stop that! The question is...

...the anti-imperialist anti-Stalinist line

I'm only a drop-out dogmatist anyway

Stop posing

But look, we've go to think about what Yazawa says...

Even if he always ends up name-calling

Yes, but the guys in the University film club believe...

That proletarian consciousness can produce proletarian films...

And they're morally bankrupt

Where are you going?

The police...

If we're going to attack, all of us have to go

Mindless activist!

Sakamoto's probably got a bomb ready to blow up the police

Motoki isn't up to it yet

I just sprained my ankle, but Motoki was badly beaten

He'd better stay in bed tonight

There's no sense in dragging him out now

Let's go back and discuss our strategy

And we'd better start writing our appeal

Yasuko, get Motoki to tell about the situation...

...and report back to us...

Let's go

Yasuko, read him a Troyakyst bedtime story. It might help

It'll only make him worse

Are they gone?

I'll bet you're hungry. Coffee will be ready soon

Are you going to the police?

No, I'm going to talk things over with the others

I was worried. You ran after the cops and out of sight

I was sure you'd had it with the cops...

...and you'd been arrested

I didn't know what to do

I'm relieved, that you were not arrested by the cops.

I'm going back

I guess you're not up to it yet

If you tell me about it I'll talk to them

Crap!

They're probably building a wake for him

Tomorrow is the funeral

The funeral? Whose?

His funeral

Whose funeral?

His funeral

So whose?

The cops were going to get his camera...

...so I grabbed it and ran, but I got caught

You mean Endo. There's no wake or funeral for him

All he did was sprain his ankle

You shouldn't talk as if...

...he was killed in the Tokyo war

Was his name Endo?

Stop kidding

Kidding? He jumped off the top of the building

He just sprained his ankle?

Endo did that? When?

This afternoon

Wake up! Endo was with us all day...

...filming a documentary of the struggle

A documentary of the struggle?

Don't be ridiculous, He committed suicide...

...right before my eyes, in broad daylight

Enough of your nightmares

What we want to know is what happened...

...after you took off after the cops

Cops?

Let me go over everything that happened today

We met in front of Sendagaya station at 3:00...

In order to film the April 28 Okinawa Day unity meeting

We all gathered near the red post box

The post box...

The shields of the riot police were lined up

They were inspecting our baggage

Everybody cooperated so nicely, it drove us crazy...

There were so many cops...

That some were free to play with the children

The children...

When we got to Meiji Park...

... things were quieter than we had expected

Sakamoto was grumbling...

... about the uselessness of popular demonstrations

The antiwar high school students were...

... getting excited all by themselves

You were watching

What were you thinking about?

About what happened last October and November?

You used to put on a white Chukaku Faction helmet...

... and mix with the antiwar high school guerrillas

And then you quit Chukaku...

... as if you were all worn out

The plaza was filled with different flags

Flags with cartoon characters...

Cartoons...

As soon as it got dark, the place went crazy

The Kakumaru Faction tried to invade our assembly

They had staves and were itching for a fight

It looked like there was going to be...

... a war between the factions

The riot police stepped in...

... and the Kakumaru was forced to go away

I said, that if both factions get together...

... we could outflank the police

But you only laughed and said:

"That's what Kakumaru calls an illicit union"

After that, the demonstration started for Hibiya Park...

... just as we were passing the baseball stadium...

... we heard them announcing the score

Then we switched from zig-zag to French-style formation

That was when we got separated from Takagi's camera group...

... and were isolated with Endo

The loud commands coming from the armored car...

... echoed across the broad avenue

It was really weired

Then the riot police attacked without warning

They were out to get us no matter what

We used all the film we'd brought taking that scene

You were the first one to notice the plainclothesmen

You tried to warn us

They were after the camera

Suddenly, Endo tripped and fell

You blocked the cops, grabbed the camera, and ran

The riot police ran after you

They grabbed your camera and jumped into a car

It was a camouflaged patrol car

You ran after that car...

... screaming and demanding the camera back

Do you remember now?

You ran after that car

I want to know what happened after that

I ran into a tunnel, on and on

He committed suicide

The film became his last will and testament

Do you still believe that?

Today we...

I opened his hand to get the camera back

He slipped away

I grabbed his arm

He knocked me down and ran off

It was early and the streets were still empty

Then he jumped off the top of that building

Where were you then?

Your lover committed suicide

Where were you? What were you doing?

I... we were taking scenes...

...of the Okinawa Day demonstrations

Were you wasting your time with that nonsense?

Go to his house this minute and ask him to forgive you

Motoki

Where are you going?

I'm going to go tell them what you said

What are you doing!

How long are you going to keep up this nonsense?

Making film into a weapon

While you were busy with that, he killed himself!

I agree that you can't participate in the struggle...

...by making films. That it's a rationalization

That's no excuse!

Wait a minute. Not here.

Your room

All right

That's right, you are his girl

Why do you...

Stupid! Now you've been raped by another man

Stop it!

Is this the film he left?

That's no way to talk, he is your lover, isn't he?

This is the film my lover left

The cops gave it back after concluding it was suicide

What's this? This is an awfully slow testament

A sake shop. Maybe he bought his liquor there

But he really wasn't much of a drinker

Maybe he was after the shopgirl

You're goin' to hurt Yasuko's feelings

Isn't that the bookshop you use a lot?

Maybe, I can't really tell

But what was he thinking when he shot this?

Is this the kind of thing you take before you die?

Maybe he really was mad

There must be something here

How can you say he was nuts...

... when you don't even watch the screen?

Hard as you look, though...

... there doesn't seem to be anything there

It's getting on my nerves

Watching this is a waste of time

He was bankrupt, both politically and artistically

Maybe he was figuring that by linking meaningless shots...

... he could create meaning by paradox

That's what you call bankruptcy

When he first joined us...

... his sense of image was a lot sharper

He had a sense of self that could relate to reality

You want to see the rest of this?

Here's what I think:

As Yazawa said...

... when you're bankrupt politically and artistically...

... all experience loses meaning

Like the recanting Communist before the war

The only difference is...

... he received the blessing of modernity

You get stuck in the muddy mixture...

... of the feudal and the modern that is Japan

And you slip deeper and deeper

Into the fetishes of youth and childhood

It's beginning to scare me

This is the end of a petit-bourgeois...

... unable to achieve proletarian consciousness

Turn it off

I'll turn it off, then?

Wait! He tried hard to shoot this film

He fought alongside us. We ought to see it through

You should have returned it by this morning

What are you filming? There's nobody here!

We have something more important to film

Don't touch that! You don't even know how to use it!

Give it back! We're going to use it today!

What are you filming?

You could film landscapes anytime

What are you trying to do? Give it back!

Wait! Where are you going?

Wait a minute! Give the camera back!

Damn idiot! Where are you going? Hey wait!

Wait! Where are you going?

Give the camera back!

Damn! Wait!

Where'd you running? Give back the camera!

Is that all you shot?

Ours was much better

I told you to get nearer to the demonstrators

Motoki, were you here, too?

Are you all right?

Yasuko says that...

...you haven't been able to carry on a decent conversation

If you couldn't even communicate with Yasuko...

...you must have been pretty badly beaten

Tell us what happened

We're going to launch a recovery struggle

Here are the handbills and the appeal to the intellectuals

Recover? Recover what?

The film the cops stole from you

We already got it back. We just saw it

That was Takagi's film

The authorities aren't about to give it up so easily

Motoki, you're still not your usual self

We understand you feel responsible for losing the film...

...but this is a problem we ought work out together

Don't get so upset

Motoki, let's go on

I've made up a list, and...

...I think we'll be able to get Nagisa Oshima and...

Masahiro Shinoda

Urayama and Seijun Suzuki will help us too

Yoshida's all tied up with the freedom of expression

So I'm sure he'll help, too

Then there's Shohei Imamura, Tai Kato, and Matsumoto

Individuals are fine, but...

...then, there's the Directors' Association...

...the Scenario Writers' Guild...

...the Critics' Council and the Technicians' Association

We've got to broaden our range...

...and develop the movement as a joint, intensive struggle

Kokugakuin University took a similar course to court and won

The System will do anything not to lose again

It's all right to appeal to the intellectuals, but...

...then we'll be reduced to the lowest common denominator:

The freedom of expression

The University film clubs are already bankrupt...

So we have to develop a unique movement of our own

It's time to go and distribute handbills

I guess we start by distributing handbills

If you're looking for his film, it's here

What's wrong? Don't look like that

You saw that film

What could he have been trying to say?

You know, don't you? You're his girl

What did he want to do with this film?

To make it his testament

Would he take something so meaningless?

But he did take it

Maybe he's...

Maybe what?

No, it couldn't be. I saw him die

That's right. He left this film and died

He insisted on borrowing the camera

What was he trying to do?

Don't you want it?

Why did he commit suicide?

Sorry, I thought you were somebody else

Did you see a man about my age turn this corner?

No man

What's wrong?

You...

Are you looking for somebody?

I...

I don't want it! You keep it

He never existed

The idiot who made this idiot film never existed!

What are you looking at?

Something that bothers you?

It's nothing

Stop it! He never even existed!

What's wrong?

I see, it's that time of month

I'll be nice to you

It'll be all right, when I start feeling hot. I'll stop

I'm his girl

It's no joke

Oh, come off it!

You're taking liberties with somebody else's girl

Stupid, I said he never existed

Then, what were you looking at?

Who were you searching for?

That was nothing

I may have said some strange things...

...but I was upset after being beaten by the cops

Don't take it so seriously

Let's be together just as we were

Now stop it!

What's this then?

What do you think?

This is the film he took

It's the film he took as his testament

Yasuko, stop it!

I just made him up. He never really existed

Then what about this?

That? You just picked it from the studio's bin

It's just a waste film spool

Then can I show it?

Sure, go ahead

Stop being difficult!

Stop it!

What's this?

Is this your lover's testament?

That's right. This is his testament

Your lover made a habit of...

...splicing pieces of waste film together, is that it?

No!

Why? Then what's this on the screen? What is it?

See, you don't know

So stop being so difficult!

You've got to hand it to Akiko through...

...splicing all this just together

That morning...

...he silently embraced me

Yes, that morning he embraced me in silence

Then walked out of the door

Yasuko!

There is no such person!

Wait

Stop it! He never even existed!

Don't you understand? He never existed!

Motoki, what have you been doing lately?

Takagi went to your place looking for you, but...

...the door was locked, and nobody answered

Were you there? What were you doing?

How's Endo's ankle?

It's bothering him, but he's hopping around all night

But you haven't called in. What have you been doing?

Not much

Yasuko said she hadn't seen you since then

Sakamoto says you're become an opportunist

It's he who believes you're unaware of...

...the situation we're in

We're about to hold the first public discussion...

for our film recovery struggle

We haven't reached the point of mass action

- That's why we work so hard - Are you still feeling badly?

No, I feel okay, it's just...

Let's see to that. It's my penchance for...

...getting so involved with that silly idea

What silly idea?

The action of a guy, who never existed

He existed!

No, it was all an illusion

Is that the way you want it?

A fiction, a fantasy

From fiction to reality. From fantasy to science

From words to life

You're not the only one...

...with the illusion that revolution will grow out of...

armed insurrection even without mass support

It doesn't help, if your bark is worse than your bite

Like Matsumura was saying...

...today all mankind is being oppressed

What is necessary, to break through that oppression...

...is imagination

That's why we're making films

I've been staying away for no reason, but...

The recovery struggle is more than just getting the film back

It's a matter of resisting the oppression of creativity

From now on, I'll be more positive

Is that all?

And what about his death?

What's wrong, Yasuko? Nobody feels as bad as Motoki

Yasuko, leave him alone

He's just beginning to develop new interest in our work

Motoki's even better than Yazawa...

...and he's only been working with us for six months

I'm more of a theoretician

Motoki's better with the equipment

Watching the way you handle the film...

...it's like you were making love to it

I used to take part in street demonstrations

It was last autumn

But I had the awful feeling that...

...we were just moving side by side with history

I don't remember the battle, but I saw a documentary...

...made by an independent group

It was really good! The camerawork was fantastic!

It illustrated history

What do you mean?

It seems like history is moving outside of our lives

But the camera makes it seem familiar, personal

That's in the way you felt about film process that...

...your street demonstrations were bankrupt

You joined our group in order to...

...use film as a means to launch a new struggle

Well, maybe...

Then the idea, that film illustrates history...

...doesn't stand up

You use film as a medium for confronting reality...

That's how films become weapons

It's a question of the extent to which film creates...

...a new relationship between reality and the creative self

The reality and the creative self combine in mutual criticism...

...and film acts through both reality and creativity

That's right

That's what film means

But the image on the film will still be descriptive

Then the ideal film would be of a gracefully dancing couple

Your theory disregards the creative autonomy

It's him! He took this!

That bastard, he even took landscapes like this!

What is it? Did you find a good shot?

This is just a waste film clip

No! He shot it!

Who shot it?

He did! He did! Your...

He doesn't exist, he doesn't

What are you talking about?

Takagi shot while he reloaded the camera

He didn't have to use up this much

Takagi was just wasting film

It's junk

Yasuko, what's this all about?

I don't know. Motoki says that he never existed...

It's getting all tangled!

It's not like you to be so careless

He died

Make me your girl

No, he's...

Aren't you going to show it?

Turn off the lights

Do it yourself!

Turn them off!

What's wrong? Turn them off

Turn on the projector first

You always turn the lights off first

No, you go first

Just flick the switch

Why don't you just flick the switch?

What's wrong? Hurry up and turn it on

Hurry up

When he decided to shoot this and commit suicide...

...did he say anything?

How should I know?

You are his girl, of course you should know

I wouldn't tell you if I knew

Tell me. Please. Tell me

He didn't say anything!

Is that the truth?

He left his testament: He didn't need to say anything

What did you get from it?

What did you get from it?

I don't know. That's why I want to see it again!

You think you'll understand this time?

How about it?

Just turn off the lights!

Hurry up and turn them off

Turn them off!

What's wrong? I turned off the lights

Turn on the projector

He really didn't say anything?

You're sure?

That morning, he embraced me

Without speaking, he simply embraced me

He embraced you. Like this?

No, he was more gentle

Like this?

No, it was completely different

It was like the wind blowing

Like water flowing Like clouds were racing by

The sun was shining. It was dazzling

You were embraced in broad daylight, under this window?

When was this?

No, it is getting hazy

Where is this street with all the signs?

Then everything goes blank

Look! Where is this?

He doesn't exist

Yes, he existed

That morning he embraced me in silence

He never existed. I just invented him

He's there. He's watching us from behind the screen

That's why I'm asking you where that is

I don't know

It's a place like a million others, but...

...you were his girl you should know where it is...

Then maybe, I don't remember

Try to remember why he filmed this place

If we go there, maybe we'd understand

But I don't know

He didn't say a thing about his testament

That morning he just embraced me in silence

Then how did he embrace you?

I didn't really embrace him and...

...he really didn't embrace me

Maybe it's just that I felt I had been embraced

Who is he?

I don't know. I don't know There is no such person

It's just that that morning he embraced me in silence

Always?

Yes, always

Liar. He said something, didn't he?

It doesn't matter when he said it, tell me what he said

Without speaking, he just...

The wind was blowing? Water was flowing?

And the sun was shining?

Yes, that's right

Who is he?

What do you want me to say?

He was always silent, and...

Don't keep repeating the same thing!

It's too beautiful

Then what do you want me to say?

The wind doesn't blow. Water doesn't flow

Does the sun shine? Don't make me laugh!

Who is he?

He's the one, who made this filthy film and died

It's not filthy. He shot it before he died

Look, what beauty is there in this?

What is it? What does it show?

It's a miserable landscape

A filthy landscape like any other!

No, there must be something better there

You just can't see it

You're the one who can't see it

It's a street of broken down signs

Bent and twisted guardrails

A mailbox, weathered and pealing

It's just junk and more junk

And then?

A cigarette stand with an old lady

And then?

Then there's a greasy old public telephone

And then?

Do you understand? That's the film he took

Do you understand? This is all he was capable of

That's wrong

You don't understand

Why he left this film and committed suicide...

You just don't understand

You're the one who's filthy

I hate him. I can't tell you how much I hate him

I'd like to tell him, how much I hate him, but he...

The wind doesn't blow water doesn't flow

The sun doesn't shine

This is him?

Yes, we're going to narrow him down

Where do we begin?

From here

And so we open our siege

WAR OF LANDSCAPES

No, this isn't it

This isn't it either

Wait, there's somebody watching

Watching?

We're getting closer

This way!

This is it!

Really?

Wait a minute. I'll ask

Was anybody taking a movie around here recently?

A movie?

Yes, a guy about my age and appearance

I don't think so

A neighbour was taking some pictures, is that what you mean?

Silly, those were still pictures

I see. Thanks anyway

What happened?

It's him

I'll get him!

He...

After him

What is it?

Did you see him?

Yes, it was a week ago or maybe ten days

Kenchan came by

Who's Kenchan?

He's a man...

He used to come and buy cigarettes for his father...

...but then he suddenly stopped coming

He said, he wanted to take my picture

Why did he want to take your picture?

I said, that there wasn't...

...any point in taking a picture of an old woman

But he got a camera for his 12th birthday...

...and was so happy!

Did you notice my friend?

He must have taken five or six pictures, but...

...he still wasn't satisfied

He...

The wind was blowing Water was flowing

The sun was...

He just passed

Like the wind?

Like water flowing?

Like the sun?

No, nothing...

Really?

One more left

The last one must be around here

Here. He went in here

MOTOKI

I'm sure. You saw him, too

Let's go in

What's wrong?

That's all for today

Why?

I said, that's all for today

UNILATERAL WITHDRAWAL

Stop it!

But isn't it the truth?

FILM SEIZURE: FIRST PUBLIC DISCUSSION

You left in the middle of the discussion

You were irresponsible

You were smart to run off

That meeting today was terrible

We didn't have enough time to publicize it

Maybe the intellectuals don't come...

...unless your slogan is "Freedom of Expression"

As we expected, no one came from the film clubs

Of course not

There's no point in carrying on like this

We've got to take concrete action with concrete support

But this proves, that they're totally bankrupt

Never mind about others

Those able to struggle must do so

Maybe the situation has reached that stage now

It's just sad to realize we're the only ones left...

...with the ability to build a cultural front

But maybe that's the only way

What are you doing?

Are you crazy?

You were supposed to report on the present situation

You are like a cultural commissar!

It's no joke!

Don't move! The lens will fall off

It's no time for that sort of thing

But we've only got one camera left

We have to be careful with this one

Endo, where is the zoom lens?

It's at home

Bring it back

Why?

Bring it back, please

Motoki, you handle the equipment...

...as if you were going to shoot a new film!

Motoki, first you disappear from this meeting, and now...

...you want lenses. What are you going to do?

You want to make a new film?

If I did, would you lend me the camera?

We've got only one...

...and it's hard to tell how our struggle will develop

I'll return it

It's not a matter of returning it

It's your whole attitude

You of all people should be involved in solving...

...the problem of the stolen film helping to establish our cultural front...

...but you're no help at all

Then you won't lend it to me?

That's not the point!

Describe the film you want to make

If you convince us, we might help

You can't. It's too personal

She's right. We should be concerned with our own films...

...and not Motoki's personal problems

Can we see the rough cut?

We've got better things to do

Editing can't save bad films

What do you mean?

If you don't want to watch, don't

Turn off the lights

Making militant films doesn't mean you're part of the struggle

Be quiet and watch

Takagi, did you take this?

Yes, but there was a cop across him and me, so...

...it's out of focus

I should have changed the angle

Opportunist!

You were with me, you should know how it was

The question is, how to conclude the film

How to express the realities of the state's seizure of our film

Point the camera and the film into the sky...

...and they are lost in the sun's glare

Then there's halation and the scene goes white

What's the sunlight represent?

State power

That's not new. We've seen that before!

I thought it was your brother

What have you been doing lately?

You ought to visit more frequently

There was a riot again the other day

I hope you aren't involved anymore

Aren't you feeling well?

Anything to eat around here?

Are you hungry? I'll fix something in a minute

Is my brother using my room?

Your room gets more sun...

...but he says he's used to his old one

Do you stay?

You'll stay for supper, won't you?

I'll fix whatever you'd like

I don't care

Your brother's been asking for Bamboo shoots. Will that do?

You haven't said anything since you arrived

Try to be nicer when you visit

You've started

What are you going to take?

You know as well as I do

Tell me

You know it

Can't you say it?

The same landscape he shot

The same way he did?

Why?

Is that the way to beat him?

Can you kill him that way?

Yes. If I take the same landscape the same way he did...

...he'll disappear

That way I'll be him

Really?

Sure

If you become him, he'll survive in you

Am I wrong?

Good luck

Yasuko, get out of the way

Excuse me, I have to get the mail

Please move, it'll only take a second

You're in my way here

I can't get her out of the way!

Over here, young lady I've got her, hurry up!

Fine... yes, fine... yes... fine... fine

Say it again

Yes, fine

Yes, sure, fine. It's all right with me

Yasuko!

What? Yes, it's fine with me

Why don't you get out of the way?

Yes, of course. Yes, fine

Yes, that's fine

That's all right

That line's dead!

It's okay with me

I said it's dead!

What'd you say...

You're trying to put me on?

I see...

Fuckin' bitch!

Damn idiot!

It was her!

You were over the center line!

Wait a minute!

What d'you want?

I'm sorry!

You trying to kill somebody?

Keep this for me, will you?

Yasuko!

I won

I won. I beat you, and I beat him

How do you know?

Because I didn't see anything

I didn't see his landscapes

So you think you won?

You saw it, didn't you?

You saw it

You see it, now

No, I didn't

You had your eyes open

Saw what? The landscape

So, you couldn't beat him

No. The landscape I saw in the car wasn't his

Look he wasn't anywhere near the road we travelled

He wasn't here either

I didn't see him anywhere

Yasuko

There is no such thing as his landscape

All landscapes are the same

He's in every landscape, and...

...he's missing from every landscape, too

Give the camera back!

When did you become a thief?

It's communal property!

We can lend it to you again later if you really need it

How did you know I was here?

Give it back

You asked Yasuko

Just give it back

What are you trying to do?

Give it back!

Where are you going?

I...

Are you still here?
