Emperor Tomato Ketchup


Shûji Terayama's Tomato Kecchappu Kôtei [1971] is quite frankly one of the most disturbing films I have ever seen. Deeply distrubing. I'm not sure if this clip is actually part of the film but I remember it being shown at the same time. There is something not quite right about the music, part Yma Sumac, part Faust, improvised in the bowels of hell.
