SARABA HAKOBUNE

Terayama Shûjis ATG application for funding to shoot a film version of Gabriel García Márquezs «One-Hundred Years of Solitude» was accepted in 1981 and he immediately began preparations to shoot the picture. The location chosen was Okinawa and Terayamas health was in such bad shape by then that he directed much of the film from a chaise lounge. He died, after a long struggle with nephritis, on May 5, 1983 without having completed the final edits.
