This program of early and mid-career works includes Terayama’s first film, The Cage, which makes clear the deep hold of Surrealism upon the young filmmaker. The opening film, Butterfly Dress Pledge, offers a striking introduction into the theatrical trance world inhabited by so many of Terayama’s films, while also showcasing his interests in breaking through the screen itself.
