[TD]Genres, running times, collaborators, soundtracks, down to the choice of equipment; Ishii’s idiosyncrasies have in many cases made him a pioneer. In some, they have made him a pariah. Sometimes both at once. Throughout it all he has hung in there and retained his belief, resulting in a body of work of great cohesion, an ongoing evolution rather than a clearly delineated oeuvre. This process is still ongoing, as his most recent film to date, Mirrored Mind, attests. Ishii himself has called it a fresh start, likening the experience of making it to starting over from zero as a filmmaker. Indeed for the first twenty minutes or so, his fans might wonder whether they are watching an Ishii film at all. Composed of lengthy soliloquies by an alienated female Tokyoite, the early sections of Mirrored Mind tend toward the kind of arthouse navel gazing so typical of some of the post-Ishii independents, like his own former assistant Nobuhiro Suwa. Such an observation is merely skin deep, however. From the first shots of candid street scenes, the film’s images communicate something far more resonant, deeper, beyond words – something that is felt instead of just seen or heard. The images of Mirrored Mind are of such striking clarity that they can justly be called luminous. To reveal that it was shot on video can only work against getting the beauty of this film across in words. What we have here is something that resembles, nay, surpasses the human eye: a hyperreality that makes you, as Ishii puts it, forget there was a camera involved in the first place.
