The Japan Foundation,Toronto and Art For Eternity gleefully present;

a FREE screening of HAUSU!!!! YAY!

""How to describe Nobuhiko Obayashis indescribable 1977 movie House Hausu? As a psychedelic ghost tale? A stream-of-consciousness bedtime story? An episode of Scooby-Doo as directed by Mario Bava? Any of the above will do for this hallucinatory head trip about a schoolgirl who travels with six classmates to her ailing aunts creaky country home and comes face-to-face with evil spirits, a demonic house cat, a bloodthirsty piano, and other ghoulish visions, all realized by Obayashi via mattes, animation, and collage effects. Equally absurd and nightmarish, House might have been beamed to Earth from some other planet. ""
