"Himatsuri"
1985
Directed by Mitsuo Yanagimachi

An independent, fortyish lumberjack (Kinya Kitaoji) is outraged by pollution, commercial exploitation and the destruction of wildlife. Believing he's the protector of the mountains through his divine relationship with the goddess of the mountains, he turns to violence against his family to voice his opposition to change and technological intrusion. Awesome sounds and images in a daring film. Japanese with English subtitles.
120 minutes.
