List of 7: Controversial Japanese Films
With the Oscars scheduled for this weekend, we thought we’d concentrate on our latest films List of 7. None of the movies below were ever nominated for an Academy Award, but they certainly all left a significant mark. Featuring directors such as Nagisa Oshima and Takashi Miike, here’s a look at some of the most controversial Japanese films ever made. The focus is on feature-length flicks only, so shorts such as Shuji Terayama’s Emperor Tomato Ketchupthe inspiration for Stereolab’s fourth studio album, and Lost Youtha story that exposes the dark side of Tokyo, is not included.
