Husk

Nippon Visions   ½ 

Eiko OTAKE and Takashi Koma OTAKE studied with both Tatsumi HIJIKATA and Kazuo OHNO, but these former student radicals adamantly refuse to call their work butoh. Still in 1987's HUSK we see one of the classics of butoh dance on film. Acknowledged by Eiko OTAKE as being her favorite of their films Husk is a slow and utterly riveting document of this world-renowned duo's work.
