10.05.2025 11:59 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0So happy to see TOKYO POP on Bluray in the UK. About 10 years ago, I tried to find a print to screen theatrically, and even the director has no idea where to find so much as a negative. Since then, one was located and this is the resulting restoration. Really a film you wanna see.

Great to see 88 Films' new UK blu of PINOCCHIO 964 out in the wild today. Writing the booklet essay for this was a dream gig.

It wasn't a conscious choice per se; it's just my focus is more on the production/screening practices of these filmmakers and how their aesthetics speak to the era. Genre is part of the discussion (esp. with Burst City and Tetsuo), but it's not the main thrust.
Definitely worth seeing and very different to the other films discussed in the book. The recent restoration is sumptuous to say the least. Way better than the old Facets DVD I had to use when writing my thesis.
