As an artist I like watching this movie because of the way it was directed and stage. I first saw this in 1980 on VHS i liked it then, And now it is in Criterion Blue Ray It is simply amazing The way it was made. Based on true story but be WARNED there is to much sexual content that border to PORNO. This is for mature audience. This is recomended for those who loves film...
Against a backdrop of growing imperialism and absolute government control, a Japanese businessman (Tatsuya Fuji) and his employee-turned-mistress (Eiko Matsuda) throw caution to the wind as they give in to a sexual and romantic obsession that threatens to consume them. This restored version of Nagisa Oshima's controversial classic includes a 1976 interview with the director and stars, deleted footage, and commentary from film scholar Tony Rayns.

That's a great film, I first saw it at the Metro on the Upper West side of NYC when I was in grad school. Oshima, one of the great Japanese directors of the last century. That theater had a Japanese film festival in the early 80s...I went to almost everything....one night my friend and I were standing directly behind a 'disguised' Dick Cavett and Woody Allen. We pretended NOT to notice.
Those were the days! My favorite Japanese film is Kurosawa's Ikiru (to Live). A black and white 'classic'. No I'm not an artist. More of an intellectual, I suppose...but I don't like that 'label'.
Thanks for the heads up on the blu-ray release!

You should see the Yoji Yamada Samurai trilogy... excellent dramas of samurais who encounter a life changing event....
1. Twilight Samurai
2. The Hidden Blade
3. Love and Honor
He also released a WWII movie, "Kabei", how a family suffers when the husband is jailed for his anti-war views...
These movies are not extremely violent nor are there any explicit scenes involved. -
I'll check that out. But IMHO the greatest WWII film by Japanese director is Kobayashi's 9+ hour Human Condition...the journey of a Japanese idealist and pacificist through the crucible of Nationalism, Totalitarianism and the senseless and irrational violence of the war from the Japanese side.

Hi Sagasa...
I really couldn't say...perhaps in Japan? I haven't seen them here, myself.
