Experimental
Background:
Shuji Terayama decided to make a transparent film.He insisted on leaving his “heterochromatic” hobby for the time being, and gave up any rendering of intermediate colors. Instead, he used pure black and white to paint his lens. As a result, “A Woman With Two Heads” has become an alien of Mount Temple and a “non heterochromatic” film sketch. At the memorial exhibition of Mount Temple in a certain year, “A Woman With Two Heads” was shown as the representative work of Mount Temple. Some people said that they never knew that Mount Temple had ever made such a clean and transparent film.
Process:
In order to highlight the effect of the painted “shadow”, He removes the real shadow with strong light. What’s more, By breaking the classical concept of time and space, through a large number of temporal ambiguous cameras and voiceover means, Teriyama Shusi has made the past and the present, reality and memory, documentary and fiction, etc. into a synchronic existence.
Formal Elements:
The incredible combination of sound and image and the use of color in his films also made his films show a surrealist sense of picture in terms of composition, color and sound.
