The Cage (1964)
Finished shooting in 1962, the movie’s cast was almost the same as its crew. With a bunch of experimental symbols such as skinny human body, clock and goat flow from one scene to another, the film explores the question of whether a man is a prisoner of time.

Just perfect...
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Supreme weirdness, as usual accompanied by J. A. Seazer's repetitive yet fun soundtrack. The Cage is a silent experimental short by Shuji Terayama tinted in green and black, saying that man is a prisoner of time. Clocks are broken, swung and ritually imitated by an old woman and a dark figure standing in the middle of a clock. The message is pretty cryptic and the seemingly non-sequitur images of bodybuilders and goats make it even more confusing.(Not so)Fun fact: Shuji Terayama's first movie was actually a 1960 short called Catology, which quickly gained controversy from animal protection agencies and such because it apparently showed a live killing of a cat (which got thrown from a building). The film is now lost. WTF, Shuji?
