Plot summary

ĀTMAN is a visual tour-de-force based on the idea of the subject at the centre of the circle created by camera positions (480 such positions). Shooting frame-by-frame the filmmaker set up an increasingly rapid circular motion. ĀTMAN is an early Buddhist deity often connected with destruction; the Japanese aspect is stressed by the devil mask of Hangan, from the Noh, and by using both Noh music and the general principle of acceleration often associated with Noh drama.

What Would Happen if you Encountered an Actual Demon

One of the strangest films I've ever had the chance to see is the 1975 Japanese experimental short Atman. The entire 11 minute long film depicts a demonic figure sitting in an outdoor environment wearing a robe and a Hannya mask. Believe me when I say that as short as the film is, you feel the figure's presence in every frame.

The film was executed through receding and shifting images utilized in a frame-by frame manner. With the addition of strange color palettes and hypnotic music, the best way to describe this transformative method of jumbled cinematography is something straight out of a fever dream. Much of this is contributed to avant-garde composer Toshi Ichiyanagi, whose score transcends the numerous different view points of the demon with melodies that will haunt your dreams for a while.

As scary as this film is, I would recommend it to anyone interested in the intrinsic experience. It's not going to everyone's cup of tea hence the short runtime and odd concept, but if you're looking for the closest thing you can think of experiencing a real life demon, this is the best bet you'll have. Enter at your own risk but keep in mind that it's up there for all to see.

Experimental!

What I found most interesting in this quite repetitive "nonsensical" film is the little sense it made, ironically. The movie starts with rapid zooms from all angles around the main character... all the while sporadic, but consistent enough to have us notice and follow along the directional pattern it follows. The character in view; shown mostly from heel to head.

But as the minutes go by, and as the overall camera movements creep into the face (or the mind) of the character, the movement becomes more and more unpredictable; spiraling out of control... There is chaos and no longer any order to how the world around the character reacts. The only thing familiar anymore, is the character's face; unreactive to the wills of his chaotic settlement.

This is by no means an "analysis" of any sort, for what really is there to analyze, but more of a thought that I entertained trying to get through 13 minutes of nonsensical, yet mildly amusing repetition.
