Sissi, L'impératrice de la solitude(1998)
On September 10, 1898, Empress Elisabeth of Austria was tragically assassinated in Geneva. Since then, this illustrious empress has fascinated adults and children alike. A century later, we present to you a historical documentary on the exceptional destiny of this legendary empress. Her legendary beauty, her charm and her independence of mind, her thirst for travel and her passion for sports were as magical as they were dramatic, but the memory she left behind for eternity is that of a woman close to all. This film highlights the political role of Empress Elisabeth, neglected by historians, as well as her tastes and passions. The important stages of her life are also widely mentioned, such as her marriage to the young Emperor Franz Joseph, the disappearance of her cousin King Ludwig II of Bavaria and the tragedy of Mayerling.

The immature young ruler of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Franz Joseph, was extremely shy around women but (according to this film) was constantly being propositioned, lewdly or otherwise, by ambitious courtesans. When he was finally married to his Empress, the teen-aged Bavarian princess Sisi (Elizabeth), it seems that his relief knew no bounds, for he was now sure that he would never have to think about sex ever again. According to the filmmakers, this is the true history of that marriage. This story is a complete reversal of the romantic legend depicted in the popular 1955 film Sissi, which helped brighten the emerging stardom of Romy Schneider.

Anma (The Masseurs) is a representative and historical work by the creator of Butoh dance, Tatsumi Hijikata in his early period in the 1960s. The film is realized not only as a dance document but also as a Cine-Dance, a term made by Iimura, that is meant to be a choreography of film. The filmmaker "performed" with a camera on the stage in front of the audience. With the main performers: Tatsumi Hijikata and Kazuo Ohno, the film has the highlights such as Butohs of a soldier by Hijikata & a mad woman by Ohno. There is a story of the mad woman, first outcast and ignored, at the end joins to the community through her dance. Inserted descriptions of Anma (The Masseurs) are made for the film by the filmmaker, but were not in the original Butoh. The film, the only document taken of the performance, must be seen for the understanding of Hijikata Butoh and the foundation of Butoh.
