'Emperor Tomato Ketchup' (1970) - Terayama Shuji.

A mad, surrealistic, frequently euphoric experiment in exuberant agitprop non-conformity. The frantically episodic, boundary-blasting, sexually permissive Emperor Tomato Ketchup remains a profound sauce of cinematic inspiration! Wilfully warped, beautifully baffling, and sinisterly strange, just don't ask me what any of it is supposed to mean!
