Throw Away Your Books, Rally In The Streets (1971) (Sho O Suteyo Machi E Deyou)
Shuji Terayama (poet, screenwriter, filmmaker and co-founder of the avant-garde Art Theatre Guild) here uses trademark multiple color filters, noise rock interludes, experimental anti-narrative glee, and surreal imagery and sequences to flesh out his cry to break free from our intellectual and critical faculties and simply experience the moment. He also accurately criticizes Japanese society in many fantastical ways.
