Review
Autre film venu du Japon, le court métrage de Koji Yamamura, « Parade » de Satie, illustration en dessin animé de la pièce musicale composée en 1916 par Erik Satie. Yamamura aussi s’intéresse à la France dans ce nouveau court, parsemant l’ensemble de citations en français de Satie, faisant intervenir artistes de la belle époque, de Cocteau à Picasso, et organisant son film en chapitres, comme l’était la musique. Mais surtout, il n’oublie pas que Satie, en plus de faire partie d’un renouveau du paysage musical du début du siècle, fut proche de l’esprit des avant-gardes comme les surréalistes. Sa musique, à la limite de l’atonal parfois, imprévisible et excentrique, est parfaite pour le style du cinéaste. Alignant des personnages ou objets absurdes et quasi pataphysiques, qu’il anime en rythme par rapport aux différents instruments joués dans le morceau, Yamamura s’amuse à réinventer un mouvement fantaisiste et coloré, complexe et épuré dans un univers connu mais méconnaissable.
Festival d'Annecy, jour 1 : périple asiatique | Revue 24 Images (Canada, Par NICOLAS THYS, 2016.06.13) » Site

Koji's new film is a real masterpice - fresh, crazy, full of small and big surprises. Surprising is also big stylistic variety of Koji's artworks but even in small details you can always recognize the hand of great artist Koji Yamamura.
-Priit Pärn (Animation Director, Estonia, 2016.04.22)

あかるく、たのしい！　それでいて薄味ながらも何種類ものイロニーもたっぷりまぶし。
《パラード》を、三者の「共同制作」として浮かびあがらせつつ、エリック・サティの思考・ことばとオーヴァーラップさせたみごとな、類をみないアニメーション。
小沼純一（音楽文化論、早稲田大学教授、2017.09）

山村浩二氏の最新作『サティの「パラード」』をうれしく拝見いたしました。
サティのテーマらしく、ユーモアと明るいエスプリに満ちて、見る人の心を引き付けるアトラクションの空間が、繊細で美しい表現と動きに満ちて、とても成功していると思います。
いきいきと表情豊かなキャラクター、音楽ばかりではなく、作者が深く理解し感覚している作家たち‐カンディンスキーやミロに始まりダリに至るまで、素晴らしく自由闊達な独自の再表現がなされていることに驚かされます。
　時々動きに鋭さやアクティヴな点が若干不足しているように思えることがあるのは、きっとリズムが単調であることによるのかもしれません。いずれにしても、作者の美しく注意深い精神とまなざしで創られたテーマは、豊かな表現や動きによって、全体として大きな成功を収めています。心からお祝いを申し上げます！
ユーリー ノルシュテイン（アニメーション監督、2017.09）
