What Arakimentari Is About

The documentary follows Nobuyoshi Araki for a month, filming both his work and his daily life. Araki is among the best known and most argued-over photographers in Japan; his reputation rests largely on his erotic work, and that work has been contested from the beginning, particularly over how it photographs women. The film mostly presents him as the face of sexual liberation, and it is worth watching aware of that framing, because the same work is spoken about in other terms as well. Björk, Takeshi Kitano and Richard Kern appear on camera. Travis Klose directed, with music by DJ Krush; it took the audience award at the Brooklyn Film Festival.
