Description:

"In Rizumu 1932 nen (Rhythm 1932, 9.5mm, 1932), Kaneko played with rhythm by means of editing, this time by thematizing a large construction site where he captured machinery and workers. While he did not use as many shots of short duration as he did in Kōkyōgaku, he meticulously combined close-ups with various shots of low and skewed angles. In his personal memo, Kaneko left only a one-sentence description of Rizumu 1932 nen, suggesting that the film reflected his effort to create a rhythmic composition by integrating themes and styles." - Noriko Morisue, "Filming the Everyday: History, Theory, and Aesthetics of Amateur Cinema in Interwar and Wartime Japan" (Yale University: PhD Dissertation, 2020): 110.
