Ian McDonald was an English composer and musician, best-known as a founding member of King Crimson with whom he co-composed “21st Century Schizoid Man” (1969).
Kohei Yoshiyuki was a Japanese photographer known for his book The Park (1979, 2007) which shows people cruising for sex in Tokyo parks in the 1970s.
Leafing through ‘The Park’.
The book was hailed by Martin Parr as “a brilliant piece of social documentation, catching perfectly the loneliness, sadness and desperation that so often accompany sexual or human relationships in a big, hard metropolis like Tokyo.”
Of all the deads I posted about since the death of Elza Soares, this one is the most interesting one. Erotomania is still my main affliction. Long live public sex and its voyeurs.
There was something about this film, which I saw when I was 21, which I found very off-putting.
I can never forget when she smears that plate of spaghetti bolognese all over her face.
But the scene above, where she snubs the landlord and throws everything out of the caban by the sea, their beach house, is quite hilarious. Then she lights up the place, foreshadowing here coming madness.
Must see film when you are 21, totally optional afterwards.
