無理心中日本の夏
Nagisa Ōshima
Keiko Sakurai, Kei Satō
A sex-obsessed young woman, a suicidal young man she meets on the street, a gun-crazy wannabe gangster—these are just three of the irrational, oddball anarchists trapped in an underground hideaway in Oshima’s devilish, absurdist portrait of what he deemed the “death drive” in Japanese youth culture.
Japanese Summer: Double Suicide
金瓶梅
Kōji Wakamatsu
Tomoko Mayama, Kazuko Wakamatsu
Dark, cynical Japanese epic brought to U.S. in a dubbed version by shlockmeister Harry Novak. Still, this gory, sexy epic is made with style and interesting for to compare to "Yojimbo" and other masterworks of the form.
