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, now available in high-definition Blu-Ray format from Criterion. The movie explores the complexities of crime, punishment, and identity through the story of a Korean man sentenced to death in Japan who survives his execution attempt. This powerful work challenges viewers with its blend of dark humor and social commentary, making it an essential piece for cinephiles interested in world cinema and political narratives. Criterion is renowned for its meticulous restoration processes and commitment to presenting significant classic and contemporary films with exceptional quality. Their releases often include insightful bonus materials such as interviews, essays, and behind-the-scenes features that enrich the viewing experience. Director Nagisa Oshima was one of Japan?s most influential filmmakers, known for pushing boundaries with works like "In the Realm of the Senses" (1976) and "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" (1983). Lead actor Do-yun Yu delivers a compelling performance as 'R', supported by Kei Sat??famous for roles in "The Pornographers" (1966) and collaborations with directors like Shohei Imamura?and Fumio Watanabe ("Woman in the Dunes"). These talents have left indelible marks on Japanese cinema through their daring choices and unforgettable performances.
