86. Nanami: The inferno of the first love (1968)


Country: Japan
Directed by Susumu Hani

If I really have to be fair, this movie rather shouldn't be included in this list as has too many week sides. Is pretentious, exploitative of female body,  sometimes too mainstream and ordinary when it poses as something alternative. But, one the other hand , you can't ignore that is optically beautiful, poetic, often really bold and revolutionary : almost a paradox that balances between something that you love and you hate the same time. However, Susumu Hani was one of the very few really independent Japanese filmmakers of the era , a leading figure of Japanese new wave cinema, who tried to explore the limits of his art: can't be omitted from this list
