SUMMER IS GONE

1978 • Directed by

Nakamura Masanobu

The viewer spends a pleasant 30 minutes enfolded in the agreeably lazy atmosphere generated by repeating images and minimalist music that characterize Nakamura’s films. The rhythm of repetitions, subtle deviations, and memories evoked by momentary images transform the scenery of an actual street into a world of daydreams. Nakamura’s distinctive trance film has earned high international acclaim.
