Sinopsis momentánea en inglés: Mr O’s Book of the Dead is the last of a trilogy of experimental films about Kazuo Ohno, co-founder of the contemporary Japanese style of dance known as butoh, made with director Chiaki Nagano during a period in which he had retired from public performance, and just before he began touring the world as a solo dancer with his celebrated work Admiring La Argentina. In the film, Ohno leads a troupe of strangely dressed, made-up and gesticulating dancers through a succession of landscapes alternately lush, desolate and surreal.

“The Book Of The Dead” is a script on ancient Egyptian rituals. The film has a powerful sense of celebration similar to the Japanese avant-garde theatres (underground theatre).
