Synopsis
Video-letter is a remarkable compilation that follows an exchange of video-letters that took place between Shuji Terayama and Shuntaro Tanikawa in the months immediately preceding Terayama's death. It can be seen as a home video produced by two prominent poets that is interlaid with highly abstract philosophizing, slightly aberrant behavior and occasionally flamboyant visuals, sometimes touching, sometimes extravagant, where two artists reflect about death, talent and wisdom.
