Commemorative Photo (1978)

Synopsis

An extraordinary animated work composed of 99 still images. The bizarre story of the mechanized walking doll “Margaret” kidnapping and confining a female student in a sailor-style school uniform is realized with a precisely calculated method of full in-camera editing of one 100-foot reel. The filmmaker himself appears in this humorous, radical Pop film, one of Nakamura’s best-known works.
