Thunder (audio commentary) [Art & Trash Miniature 17]

Takashi Ito, Thunder, 1982, with audio commentary by Stephen Broomer. An Art & Trash miniature.
Takashi Ito is one of Japan’s most significant experimental filmmakers; his distinctive style betrays almost clinical fascinations with technology, time, and space. For Ito, the camera is a spatial tool above all, a device for capturing, mapping out and disrupting ordinary, commonplace environments, environments that, through his reconstruction of them, become deeply unfamiliar.
In this audio commentary, Stephen Broomer discusses Thunder in relation to the metaphor of its title, Ito's techniques of time-lapse and long-exposure photography, and the atmosphere of dread advanced in his maturing work of the mid-1980s.

I love it that you focused on more obscure experimental/cult films that need more attention on your video essays

Just when I was giving up on finding a channel with an interesting niche of film making with a commentary that’s well rounded and doesn’t sound fanatical, boom! You appeared! Following
