	Nagisa Oshima
		Nagisa Oshima presents a searing and provocative examination of the socially enabled, self-perpetuating interrelation between poverty and crime in A Town of Love and Hope.
		Using fragmented narrative, an ensemble cast of characters, and frequent camera movement, Nagisa Oshima reflects the pervasive sense of nihilism and chaos in the aftermath of war.

	Nagisa Oshima - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nagisa Oshima (大島渚 Ōshima Nagisa, born March 31, 1932) is a famous Japanese director.
		Oshima, born in Kyoto, is most famed for his provocative 1976 film In the Realm of the Senses (Ai no korida; 愛のコリーダ), a film based on a true story of fatal sexual obsession in 1930s Japan.
		Oshima, a prolific critic of censorship and his contemporary Akira Kurosawa's humanism, was determined that the film should feature hardcore pornography and thus the film's undeveloped film cans had to be transported to France to be developed and an uncensored version of the movie is still unavailable in Japan.

	Nagisa Oshima
		Oshima returns to a more straightforward narrative style with Boy; the film, one of his most affecting due to its sympathetic depiction of the title character, is a savage vision of Japanese family values (patriarchy, filial obedience) grown poisonous at the root.
		Oshima dissolved Sozosha, his production company, and set to work on a script inspired by the case of Sada Abe, a madwoman who in 1936 was found walking the streets of Tokyo holding the severed penis of her dead lover.
		Oshima's great contemporary Shohei Imamura once remarked, “I'm a country farmer; Nagisa Oshima is a samurai.” The usual interpretation of this oft-quoted remark is that Imamura was humbly praising Oshima for his warrior spirit: Audie Bock reads Imamura's statement as alluding specifically to the “moral rectitude” of the samurai class Oshima represents.

	Nagisa Oshima \| Oshima's Empires
		Nagisa Oshima - a one-man 'New Wave' at the start of his career - is now regarded as the father of a revolutionary young generation of Japanese film-makers.
		These Oshima read in the solitude of a lonely childhood, and by the time he left high-school he was ready to become a fully-fledged student activist as well as embryo writer and dramatist.
		Oshima reacted by setting up his own production company and making Shiiku (1961, The Catch), in which a fl American airman is imprisoned and eventually killed by villagers who are unaware that World War II has finally ended.

	Guardian Unlimited Film \| Features \| Nagisa Oshima: Boy
		Nagisa Oshima is most widely known in the west for In the Realm of the Senses, a story of sexual obsession based on a true incident, which had censors everywhere reaching for their scissors.
		Oshima's Death by Hanging (1968), Diary of a Shinjuku Thief (1969) and The Ceremony (1971) showed an even firmer grasp than In the Realm of the Senses of the way in which Japan was changing and the profound effect of that change.
		Some of Oshima's films, which all come from the left, even if he began to hate the leaders of the communist party he initially sympathised with, seem to be influenced by either Godard or Bunuel, as well as by a deep suspicion of Japanese traditions.

		Nagisa Oshima was born on March 31, 1932, in Kyoto, as the son of a civil servant of samurai descent.

		Oshima's unnerving, erotic classic 'In the Realm of the Senses', based on the real life exploits of Sada Abe, exposed the hypocrisies of Japan's censorship policy.

	Cinema Studies/Krannert Japanese Film Series
		Nagisa Oshima is the best-known of Japan's postwar filmmakers, a major figure in the Japanese New Wave and a major figure in the international cinema, as well.
		The film is all at once an examination of discrimination against Koreans in Japan, a condemnation of the death penalty, and a darkly comic expose of institutional hypocrisy.
		Nagisa Oshima has created what amounts to a documentary of Shinjuku during the era, alongside a comic look at a fictional lovable loser, the oddly named Birdey Hilltop.

		Lo stile di Kim Ki-duk non si può certo dire neorealista, e neppure melodrammatico; è invece una mescolanza dei due, in cui convergono Scorsese, Abel Ferrara, le belle addormentate di Kawabata, l'Oshima Nagisa della rabbia giovanile e il nichilismo più devastante.
		Ma attenzione: Kim Ki-duk non è solo un citazionista e neppure un narratore pop.

		Nagisa Oshima's sensational, 1976 film concerns a woman (Eiko Matsuda) whose obsessive sexual relationship with her husband (Tatsuya Fuji) crosses the line from passion into the territory of life and death.
		One of the most sexually explicit films ever to play in mainstream theaters (though it did run into legal trouble both in the U.S. and Japan), it has an air of palpable doom, suggesting that sex can be a doorway to suicide.
		The tone of the film and the shocking ending could have been made morbid or depressing but it is not.
