Artist Eric Baudelaire tracks the story of the Japanese Red Army through the ideological journey of two of its protagonists. Recounting this episode as the ‘anabasis’ of such radical faction, the Franco-American filmmaker captures a series of reflections that are both political and personal.
Halfway between a documentary and a film-essay, Baudelaire’s film explores the intricate three-way relationship between politics, art and life. A sinuous collage that transpires a palpable tension between the private and the public, building up to a fascinating reflection on memory and its images.
