LA BALADA DE NARAYAMA
(Shôhei Imamura, Japón 1983, 130 min., v.o.s.e.)
Men touch each other with blows. An energetic duo about masculine construction. A deconstruction of the contemporary virile behaviour, acclaimed by some and questioned by many. CLINCH in boxing is the moment in which the two boxers hug and block each other until the referee separates them. This movement is about getting as close as possible to your rival to protect yourself from their attack. CLINCH exposes the most toxic masculinity, established in the competition, the denial and the confrontation to all that is different. Furthermore, the denial of feelings, excluding rage or fury, that must be demonstrated through the exercise of violence.
Era una vieja ley del pueblo, de un tiempo tan lejano que ya nadie lo recordaba; Al alcanzar los 70 los ancianos debían abandonar el pueblo para ir a vivir en la cima de la montaña Narayama. Una sentencia de muerte despiadada que sumía en la tristeza y la desesperación a las familias cuando tenían que enviar a sus mayores a la montaña.
