The Aroma of Enchantment (1992)

55min | Documentary | Feb 12, 1992 | Released

In this engaging video essay, Lord explores the Japanese fascination with 1950's American pop culture. The Aroma of Enchantment pointedly notes how America represented the 'abundance of democracy' for a country decimated by war. Unable to revise or reject these anachronistic images, Japan is ironically stuck with empty Elvis in a time of plenty.
