Episode description
Joined this week by Joshua Smith and Dr. George Crosthwait of the Japanese Avant-garde and Experimental Film Festival to discuss the late, great Nobuhiko Obayashi's HOUSE (ハウス / Hausu, 1977). Sold as the Japanese JAWS, and with a story straight from the mind of his 11 year old daughter, Chigumi, this is one of the most unique films that I've ever seen. Impossible to describe, and existing almost exclusively in the imaginations of its viewers, this horror/comedy/musical is truly something special.
