An editorial summary of the body of work by FilmAnalysis: interpretation, not historical record.
A sociologist with a camera. Seventeen (1988) and Couples (1988) photographed ordinary Japanese standing in their own rooms and workplaces, full length, looking at the lens, with a short statement from each. Plain, equal, exact.
