The Steam Express
57m

The unique editing of the film, in which cuts of the train running according to an unreadable sequence of rules are overlaid with radio weather forecasts, '60s pop music and FEN broadcasts, and the inexhaustible camerawork and fearless cutting bring the scenery seen through the train windows to life in this ambitious film. This groundbreaking work was an independent film at the time, but was released in a hall rented by the filmmaker and drew an unprecedented audience. This is the starting point for his posthumous film Bokutachi Kyuko A-Train de Ikirou!
