Oshima
2010 · Film · short · 34 min
Directed by Lars Henning
A Japanese business traveler is completely exhausted at a German airport. There, Mr. Oshima seems already to be expected by a businessman and his translator, from whom he spontaneously abducts himself to the foreign city. In his surreal odyssey through the night, however, he loses himself more and more, until he finally disappears without a trace and nothing remains of him as this story.

That's the thing, Japanese cinema back in the '50s-'70s was pure art: Mizoguchi, Ozu, Oshima, Naruse, Misumi (my favorite), Kinji Fukasaku, Seijun Suzuki (even though you could say he was more on the "entertainment" side) were defining the cultural norm for many in the world. The same goes for the Italian and French cinematographies that I had mentioned.
