Here's my (relatively) quick DVDVR review of the Inoki vs Saito Island Death Match. Note that the WON thought this was basically the worst thing ever at the time even if NJPW fans in Japan voted it the match of the year.

(1) I don't have the words to do it justice but it accomplishes so much with so little, with time, setting, and effort driving it all.

The match is fairly self-evident. Either you're going to get it or you're not going to get it and I can't make you not get it if you don't. You have to take a leap of faith, have to give in something of yourself, have to put in some level of effort, have to ride the wave and channel what they're feeling. The match is exhausting; it was for them it is for you as a viewer. If I understand the translation well enough, we come in at around the 30 minute mark and they'd just been posturing. There's a shot of Inoki groundhogging his head out of his tent as Saito waits in the ring. Once they get going, Saito goes for the Scorpion immediately and Inoki blocks it and tries for a UWF leglock. Saito is bloodied up from his mouth early and it adds a mood to everything almost from the get go. From there, things remain hotly contested but with simple, grinding holds. There are some patterns, such as Saito getting a hold and Inoki getting a reversal, again and again. There are times that Inoki escapes a hold by simply working his way around the ring. This is a battle of attrition, more so than probably any pro wrestling match since the 1930s.

(2) Time passes. Night falls. They light the torches. Everything is so grueling and every tiny advantage is made to mean so much over time. Whenever they build to a high moment, like Inoki pulling Saito over the ring or Saito trying to force Inoki into the fire and crashing into it himself instead, it's a huge deal. Saito gets a modified version of his prison lock on and Inoki charges him on the outside, desperate to make up the advantage. That leads to the moment I captured, where Saito takes advantage due to Inoki's desperation but he's putting so much into containing and stetching Inoki. It's almost like lucha matwork where they can hold on for as long as they can but if they can't get some sort of win (and the only way to win is to escape to a certain part of the island), then they have to let go. They escalate to suplexes, but slowly, steadily, one and then a long gap of holds again, but towards the end, Inoki starts to really gain an advantage with Knuckle Arrows and all the rest. Saito starts to backpeddle. It feels inevitable. But then he grabs a piece of wood from the ground and blasts Inoki and it's legitimately shocking because this has all been violence and battle but this is a different sort. It's beyond the pale. It's crossing a line. Inoki blades hard. The two of them are covered in dirt, covered in blood, and Saito is unrelenting. Inoki is Inoki however. He powers back, chokes Saito out, and marches his way to freedom as they put Saito on a stretcher and bring him back to his tent.

Noir goddess. Photo from my collection, no date/info.

Black and white photo of a medium haired white cat lying in loaf position on a lawn. The photo is pretty striking because it’s fairly dark but the cats’ face is dramatically illuminated by light streaming in from the right. It is reminiscent of how women’s faces were often lit in noir films of the 1940s and 50s. The cats’ eyes look they might be two different colors but it’s unclear if it’s due to heterochromia or just the stark lighting.

Clearcut (Ryszard Bugajski, 1991) The best of Canadian folk horror! My pick for a "VCR on the Big Screen" night at the ubc film society, it’s finally widely available. A remarkably mean political fable about liberal complicity from an exiled Polish director.

In response to @femalegazefilmpod.bsky.social's prompt about women filmmakers you wish people knew more about, I chose Germaine Dulac, the French impressionist whose most famous work, THE SEASHELL AND THE CLERGYMAN, is perhaps one of the most potent examples of surrealism ever committed to film.

More movies need to have characters passing half-smoked cigarettes from one to another as a sign of camaraderie, of shared experience that's one step above acknowledgment but perhaps half a step below intimacy.
