Nagisa Oshima
Description:Genius provocateur Nagisa Oshima, an influential figure in the Japanese New Wave of the 1960s, made one of his most startling political statements with the compelling pitch-black satire Death by Hanging. In this macabre farce, a Korean man is sentenced to death in Japan but survives his execution, sending the authorities into a panic about what to do next. At once disturbing and oddly amusing, Oshima's constantly surprising film is a subversive and surreal indictment of both capital punishment and the treatment of Korean immigrants in his country.
"Death By Hanging" is a provocative and critically acclaimed Japanese film directed by Nagisa Oshima, available here in the DVD format from Criterion Collection (Direct), renowned for their high-quality restorations of classic and influential cinema. The film explores themes of justice, identity, and societal hypocrisy through the story of a Korean man sentenced to death in Japan. Director Nagisa Oshima was one of Japan?s most innovative filmmakers, known for challenging social norms with works like "In the Realm of the Senses" and "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence." The cast includes Do-yun Yu as R, whose performance anchors the film's emotional intensity; Kei Sat?, celebrated for his roles in "Onibaba" and collaborations with directors such as Kaneto Shindo; Fumio Watanabe, recognized for his versatile acting across Japanese New Wave cinema; and Toshiro Ishido among others. Criterion Collection is globally respected for its dedication to preserving cinematic masterpieces with meticulous attention to detail?making this edition an essential addition to any serious film lover?s library.
