<p> Murayama Kaita, a Japanese painter, novelist and poet died in 1919 at the age of 22, leaving behind an impressive and time-defying body of work. In his most recent film, Sato Hisayasu offers a surreal, time-crossing, me<x>ta-la<x>yered essay on the artist, his originality and his legacy.<br/> Dear Kaita Ablaze brings together a young woman Azami obsessed with Murayama's painting, a young man Saku, who can hear unusual frequencies and claims to be Murayama or his spiritual imprint and a quartet of young performers with psychic abilities. They bond over Murayama’s work which they recreate in performative dance while driving to a mysterious cave called Agartha.<br/> Sato Hisayasu (The Eye's Dream, Muscle, The Bedroom), renowned for his pinku and exploration of madness and lust, returns to IFFR. Dear Kaita Ablaze is hyper-dense, obsessive and driven, effortlessly mashing surrealism with sci-fi and mysticism, la<x>yering seemingly unrelated events and encounters to bring them together in a monumental climax.<br/> – kijA<br/> 源自：<a href="https://www.douban.com/li<x>nk2/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fiffr.com%2Fen%2Fiffr%2F2024%2Ffilms%2Fdear-kaita-ablaze&li<x>nk2key=ed522cc09a" target="_blank">https://iffr.com/en/iffr/2024/films/dear-kaita-ablaze</a></p>
