Extreme Private Eros: Love Song 1974 is a second documentary in the filmography of Kazuo Hara, artist regarded as a pioneer of a “private film” [kojin eiga]. At first alone and later with his lover and producer, Sachiko Kobayashi, he travels to Okinawa to film his ex-girlfriend, a radical feminist, Miyuki Takeda. He is not a distant observer, but a protagonist of his own movie, the experiment. Among the scenes illustrating the woman’s daily life, her romance with a young girl and also with the American soldier - which fruits with a child “born on a screen” – are those scenes in which the director gives camera away to Miyuki’s lover, cries and reveals himself in front of the viewer.
