Retired by illness since the 1999 film
Gohatto, Nagisa Oshima will be remembered following
his death from pneumonia as one of Japan's greatest and most controversial film directors. A key figure of Japan's own
"New Wave" of Sixties cinema, Oshima gained global notoriety for his 1976 sex film
In the Realm of the Senses, but probably received his widest exposure with American audiences with his 1983 David Bowie POW drama
Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence.
Follow this link to read my reviews of some less familiar Oshima pictures, with
The Christian Revolt and
Sing a Song of Sex standing out as favorites worthy of greater attention.
