- Still from The Sun's Burial (1960)
Frequently hailed as the Jean Luc Godard of Japan, Nagisa Oshima has a reputation as one of his country's foremost radical filmmakers. In the Realm of Oshima, the most comprehensive US retrospective of his oeuvre in nearly 20 years, brings together nearly all of the feature films spanning the director's four-decade career. Stylistically all over the map, Oshima's work is unified by a restless search for a radical form suited to radical content — a sensibility nurtured by having come of age as a filmaker alongside the rise of Japan's left wing in the '60s. Whether presented through the lens of teen delinquents, disillusioned leftists, corrupt government officials, or sexual outlaws, Oshima's films are bold and beautiful shakedowns of postwar Japanese society.
