About THE ANABASIS OF MAY AND FUSAKO SHIGENOBU, MASAO ADACHI AND 27 YEARS WITHOUT IMAGES. Eric Baudelaire (interview).

France 2011. 66’.
Directed by: Eric Baudelaire.

The story of the Japanese Red Army recalled through three emblematic lives: the JRA founder Fusako Shigenobu, her daughter May and filmmaker Masao Adachi. The latter, after joining the revolutionaries in Beirut in the Seventies, decides to live underground to keep on working with them. Once arrested, Masao Adachi is condemned not to leave Japan and to abandon cinema – until a French filmmaker asks him permission to make a film about his life.
