Fujiwara Toshi<br />

BOKURA WA MO KAERENAI<br />

We Can’t Go Home Again<br />

(t.l.: Non possiamo più<br />

tornare a casa)<br />

All’inizio <strong>del</strong> <strong>nuovo</strong> secolo a Tokyo, cinque giovani vagano<br />

per la città tra università, case editrici, parchi e club<br />

sadomaso, inseguendo il senso <strong>del</strong>la propria esistenza o<br />

forse inseguiti dalla loro stessa vita: l’insicura Mao, il cinefilo<br />

Yushin, la “regina” sadomaso Kurumi, il taciturno<br />

Masato e infine Atsushi il cui unico impegno è quello di<br />

scattare foto <strong>del</strong> proprio volto in ogni luogo visitato.<br />

“L’idea di un’improvvisazione collettiva proviene dal<br />

<strong>cinema</strong> americano indipendente anni ‘60 e ‘70, in particolare<br />

per quanto mi riguarda da Robert Kramer e dai<br />

Newsreel. (...) Io non avevo il controllo diretto su quello<br />

che le persone avrebbero detto o fatto, questo spettava<br />

agli attori. Il mio primo compito come regista è di avere<br />

la mente aperta per osservare attentamente e per trovare<br />

ciò che è realmente interessante, e di pensare al modo<br />

migliore per trasformare tutto in immagini”.<br />

Fujiwara Toshi<br />

At the dawn of the new century, five young people wander<br />

through Tokyo, among university, publishing companies, parks<br />

and S&M clubs, chasing after a sense of their own existence or<br />

perhaps chased by it: the insecure Mao, film buff Yushin, S&M<br />

“queen” Kurumi, the taciturn Masato and Atsushi, who takes<br />

pictures of his face in every place he visits.<br />

“The idea of collective improvisation comes from the American<br />

independents of the 60s and 70s, in my case especially from<br />

Robert Kramer and Newsreel. (...) I had no direct control over<br />

what each person would say or do; it was up to the actors. My<br />

first job as the director-<strong>cinema</strong>tographer is to be open-minded, to<br />

observe carefully and find what is really interesting, and figure<br />

out how I can best record that as an image.”<br />
