Bullfight in Okinawa (1994)

Chris Markers Bullfight in Okinawa is a bizarre 4 min documentary that introduces viewers to Japans subterranean past time of bullfighting Part of Markers fivefilm Bestiary series Bullfight employs observational documentary techniques and in particular Markers camerawork is impressive tight framed shots freehand pans and quick zooms all contribute to the films urgent sense of tension and if it werent for the suspense inducing music this shortgem would be damn close to pure objective documentary cinema
