GOOTARIPUTRA
This is an 8mm film shot and edited from 1996 to 1999. There is no story development like a normal story movie, and the image of only the author = the hero like a diary movie continues. There are no lines. The heroine-like existence is a dingy female stray cat. Still, I tried to brew and elaborate how to make a movie time of about one hour, like walking a tightrope, but over a long period of time. As a reference motif, there is Isao Yamada's early work "Yomado". The title "Gootariputra" is not a word with a specific meaning, but is just a coined word of Lazy way of life.
