Film7.5KomediDramTam anlamıyla bir kara mizah. R. adlı suçlu asılarak idam edilir fakat ölmez. İdam odasında bulunanlar (savcı, müdür, güvenlikçi, doktor, rahip) R.'nin bilinci olmadığından asılamayacağını söylerler. Rahip, "bu adam R. değil, çünkü ruhu uçtu gitti" der. Böylece R.'ye R. olduğunu kanıtlamaya çalışırlar. Bundan sonra bir kısım komik parodilere başlarlar. İdam, ölüm cezası üzerine felsefi, siyasi, ahlaki düşünmeye sevkeden bir film. Tiyatro üslubuyla olaya yaklaştığı için hızlı film usulüne uygun değil, biraz ağır, ama mizah yoluyla bunu kapatıyor.

Film10.0BelgeselDevotion investigates the extremely complex and heirarchical relationships among a committed group of Japanese filmmakers who dedicated up to 30 years of their lives making films for one man-Ogawa Shinsuke. Members of Ogawa Pro filmed the student movement of the late 60's; the fight by farmers to save their land from government confiscaton for the Narita airport at Sanrizuka; and the village life of a small farming community, Magino Village, in northern Japan. These heartbreaking and sometimes funny stories have never been told on film before. Rare footage, stills, and diaries with interviews with Oshima Nagisa, Hara Kazuo and Robert Kramer make this historical inquiry visually exciting as well as valuable.

FilmBelgeselA Visit to Ogawa Productions offers a rare insight into the social and cinematic philosophy of one of Japan's best-known documentary film collectives. As the film reveals, Ogawa Productions' in-depth portraits of Japanese society - whether of protest movements or traditional agricultural life - grew out of an unusual commitment to integrate themselves with the communities they filmed, to the extent that their film-making literally became an alternative lifestyle.
