Aragami
“You construct intricate rituals which allow you to touch the skin of other men” (B. Kruger)
Today under sunny sky, better said within dark rooms: Aragami by Ryuhei Kitamura. Yesterday leaving before the end Tsukamoto’s movie, pursued or pursuing the imminence of death or life, I was wondering what we were looking for in cinema.
So what makes you go back to movies: 2 handsome guys and the promise of good sword fights…
So, a languorous semi-god, a sensual zombie (can’t die, can’t sleep, can’t dream) with red hair, sexy legs, glittering kimono, waiting for the one who will be able…(may i say that) to finally penetrate him with his sword, ‘ saves’ a pony-tailed young samourai.
Follow conversations with a glass of wine or vodka. When the rituals of good old friendship between guys are over, serious things, meaning sword duels, can begin. The whole of it accompanied with a light and repetitive soundtrack coming out of an American soap.

Could someone please send me the Barbara Kruger image called: “Privileged Information”? The text in it is:
“You construct intricate rituals which allow you to touch the skin of other men.”
Thanks, I’ve been searching for it for a while but all I get is this small bad quality scan of it:
