91. Death by hanging (1968)


Country: Japan
Directed by Nagisa Oshima

When I face masterpieces like this one, I feel that is useless to say much presenting them. 'Death by hanging' is political, is revolutionary, is minimal but at the same time complex, is poetic, is theatrical but also very beautiful visually, is philosophical, is realistically raw but also symbolic, is dark but also optimistic, is openly fake but also like a documentary. Oshima teaches what cinema is about and how you can make a film that can let you breathless with a really tiny budget
