Country: Japan
Directed by Nagisa Oshima
Many years passed since I watched this film so, I can't recall many details. For sure the movie did a very strong impression to me. Oshima with a very daring and neoteric form that incorporates a lot of theatrical elements, 'discuss' intensively about the political events in Japan , the social movements , the problems and splits in Japanese Communist party of that time. The movie is showing the strong influence of Marxism on Oshima but also his doubts about the direction that took the radical student movement of his era. 'Night and fog in Japan' seems to me one of the most modern movies of Japanese New Wave but in the same time goes back to forms and traditions with deep roots in the country, out of the spell of western cinema
