Night and Fog in Japan
Directed by Nagisa Ōshima
Produced by Shochiku
A rigorous, intellectually demanding examination of political disillusionment and ideological collapse, told through austere formal means that prioritize confrontation over comfort.
Long takes and a highly theatrical visual approach combine to form a tense and confrontational look at the decline of a socialist student activists' movement in Japan.
