Country: Japan
Directed by Tetsuji Takechi
As I wrote also for ' Daydream' ,an other Tetsuji Takechi film, 'Black snow' artistically is not something very special either. However is an important film for the history of Japanese cinema: as combines . more or less as never before, radical politics , violence and erotism in a provocative manner. In reality nudism and erotism are not the most important elements of the film that poses as pink but mostly declares an extreme anti-Americanism expressing the outrage of a large part of Japanese society, both right and left wing driven, for the American military and cultural occupation. Was not a surprise that the film banned and Takechi be prosecuted by the government officially on obscenity charges but in reality because the reaction of the American army and CIA. Takechi said on the matter: 'the censors are getting though about Black snow. I admit there are many nude scenes in the film but they are psychological nude scenes symbolizing the defencelessness of the Japanese people in the face of American invasion'
