Throw Away Your Books & Rally In The Streets (Church of Film)

May 10, 2023 @ 7:00 PM 9:00 PM

$8

The first feature by Japanese “Emperor of the Avant-Garde” Shûji Terayama, THROW AWAY YOUR BOOKS, RALLY IN THE STREETS is an explosive and manic psychedelic exploration of the director and poet’s own troubled upbringing, and also of a nation wrestling with a haunting past and the promise of a revolutionary future. Told in feverish metaphorical vignettes, and accompanied by a raucous soundtrack by the Tokyo Kid Brothers, it’s a film that tests the boundaries of film’s poetic possibilities.
