		Hiroshi Teshigahara (勅使河原宏 Teshigahara Hiroshi, January 28, 1927 - April 14, 2001) was an avant-garde Japanese film-maker.
		He was born in Tokyo, son to the famous Sofu Teshigahara, founder and grand master of the Sogetsu School of Ikebana.
		From the mid-1970s on, Teshigahara's directing output on feature films decreased as he concentrated more on documentaries, exhibitions and the Sogetsu School, eventually becoming the grand master of the school in 1980.

	Hiroshi Teshigahara
		Marking Hiroshi Teshigahara's third adaptation of novels by modernist author Kobo Abe, The Face of Another is a highly stylized, psychologically dense, and provocative exposition on identity, persona, freedom, and intimacy.
		Hiroshi Teshigahara's Antonio Gaudi is a spare, astonishing, and haunting documentary on the designs of famed turn of the century Spanish architect, Antonio Gaudi (1852-1926).
		Teshigahara further reinforces the cultural legacy of Rikyu's simple, yet elegant integrated life philosophy by dedicating the film to mid-century modern designer Isamu Noguchi and Sofu Teshigahara, the filmmaker's father and founder of the Sogetsu School of Ikebana that integrated principles of modern art into the traditional art of floral composition.

	Midnight Eye review: The Face of Another ('Tanin no Kao', 1966, Hiroshi TESHIGAHARA) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The son of Sofu Teshigahara, founder of the Sogetsu School of ikebana, which revolutionised Japan's traditional art of floral composition by absorbing ideas from the field of modern art, Hiroshi Teshigahara was active in various artistic circles during the 50s, and not only within the field of film.
		Like all of Teshigahara's best-known works, Face of Another is based on a story by Kobo Abe, one of a string of four films from the 60s in which the director and writer worked closely together.
		Teshigahara and Abe are joined by avant-garde musician Toru Takemitsu, Hiroshi Segawa, the cinematographer on all of their collaborations, and art director Masao Yamazaki.

	[KFCC] Moetsukita Chizu Review
		Teshigahara also uses the camera to dissect and discombobulate scenes in an unsettling way which adds to the increasing tension as the detective's confusion increases and sense of identity decreases.
		Although it was a delight to see a Teshigahara feature in widescreen ratio and in colour, I had the impression with this film, unlike the previous three, that Teshigahara was not yet completely comfortable with the his medium.
		One such favourite is a bizarre interlude in the movie where the hostess at a coffee bar turns up the radio and dances with her hands for a minute while the detective makes a call to his office to make a report and the coffee shop owner looks on.

	[KFCC] Otoshiana Review
		Story: Otoshiana described by Teshigahara as a documentary-fantasy, is a social critique set in the post-war mining communities of western Japan.
		Teshigahara is clearly criticising the powerless role of the impoverished worker in post-war Japan, and questioning the society which makes victims of them without ever being open or accountable.
		The Hiroshi Teshigahara box set was released on the one year anniversary of his sudden and unexpected death on April 14, 2001.

	Woman of the Dunes Review (1964) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The man's desperation to see life beyond his desert prison is such that he attempts to rape her, while the villagers, wearing masks and banging on a variety of drums, gaze on in lascivious delight.
		Hiroshi Segawa's cinematography is often astonishing, the shadows and textures of the shifting sands captured in beautiful crisp monochrome, while Teshigahara opts for a handheld camera to document the more intimate moments within the hut.
		Teshigahara made his debut three years earlier with the strange satire The Pitfall, and directed a further four films, including the detective story The Ruined Map, before retiring in the early seventies to concentrate on ceramics and experimental film-making.

	Hiroshi Teshigahara
		But he is widely known only for the eight feature-length films he made over a period of 30 years, films as unique in form and function as anything else in his creative life—except that they use the most immediate and direct medium for the communication of ideas in the same arresting way.
		That Teshigahara does, with moviegoers worldwide leaving theaters brushing imaginary sand from their clothing, attests to his genius at finding the most vivid equivalents to Abe's odd universe of words.
		Teshigahara cleverly juxtaposes Okuyama's intrigues—which both delight and destroy him—with the despair of the scarred young woman, whose own destruction seems almost guaranteed by a world that will not look beyond appearances.

		Teshigahara's masterful use of extreme close-up and a memorable score by the great composer Toru Takemitsu (Harakiri, Kwaidan, Ran) help keep the erotic charge cranked to the max; Women of the Dunes is "filmed with a palpable physicality that remains extraordinary.
		Leaving aside all the teasing questions of allegorical meaning, Teshigahara's film is a tour de force of visual style, and a knockout as an unusually cruel thriller" (Tony Rayns).
		Teshigahara's Antonio Gaudi is just that improbable hit: re-released in a newly-struck 35mm print, it has sold out screenings across the U.S., drawing a diverse crowd of cinephiles, architecture and design devotees, even New Age admirers of Gaudi's singular organic style.

	Film Review: Antonio Gaudi (9/17/97)
		Hiroshi Teshigahara pays cinematic homage to cinematic homage to architect Antonio Gaudi.
		It was a film that located the romantic obsession between an entomologist and a woman in the physical and psychic midst of a vast and indifferent desert.
		Teshigahara rightfully presents Gaudi's buildings as integral elements of the civic life of Barcelona.

		Re-released in a restored new print, Hiroshi Teshigahara's fable remains as mystifying, serene, and provoking as when it was released in 1964.
		Minimal though the setting and the situation may be, the story unfolds with frequent surprises and epiphanies -- Teshigahara's imagery of the patterns and texture of sand, water, and sky touch on the ineffable, and the allegory unfolds with startling and satisfying resolutions.
		Mixing Camus's The Myth of Sisyphus with Sartre's No Exit and not a little of the earthy absurdity of Beckett's Happy Days, Woman shimmers with an ethereal radiance of its own, teaching in the end that it is futile to try to escape to the desert without before finding water in the desert within.

		Examining themes of alienation, workers' rights, and identity, Teshigahara and Abe's exotically strange film evokes the cinema of Antonioni, Resnais, the writing of Kafka, Beckett, Carroll, and the French existentialists.
		Teshigahara coined the term "documentary fantasy" for this study of the powerless, impoverished worker in postwar Japan.

		Hiroshi Teshigahara's Antonio Gaudi, which is available on DVD from Image Entertainment (a distributor for Milestone Film and Video), is a haunting look at the works of a Spanish architect whose surrealist bent was a great inspiration to such later geniuses as Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali.
		A continuous Toru Takemitsu score bolsters the images with rising and falling melodies that are almost as ethereal as Gaudi's structures.
		Teshigahara's far more uplifting point could be that human beings - or, at least, this particular human being - can transform the labyrinths of their minds into works of startling beauty and wonder.
