216. The ceremony (1971)


Country: Japan
Directed by Nagisa Oshima

So many years passed since I watched this film that it is really difficult to recall many things. However, this that stays with me is that watching the film was quite captivative. Oshima here with this intelectual, innovative, powerfull, bold style of him attacks the most sacred institution of Japanese society, the family. Secret and lies are revealed but in this case is not just a political satire of the burgeois class, of the dying clans that used to be well asimilated to the Japanese political system. Oshima gives to us a sadness as well, the film is working in a second existencial level quite well
