You're dead-on about that wedding sequence, by the way.<br /><br />d, I've seen neither of those Oshimas, but I have seen <i>Empire of Passion</i>, the milder follow-up to <i>Realm</i> and liked it.Samuel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934870299522899944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149411832127844385.post-62062757906842700962010-07-22T08:29:34.917-04:002010-07-22T08:29:34.917-04:00I'm not sure what to think of Nagisa Ôshima as...I'm not sure what to think of Nagisa Ôshima as a director.

Oshima's Eclispe set is my favorite purchase so far this year, and at 50% off from B&N you can't go wrong. <br /><br />The opening wedding scene is like a Lynchian illusion while the cinematography must have inspired Wong-kar Wai and his cohort Christopher Doyle. Also plays like a Godard B-movie homage.<br /><br />As much as I loved this film, VIOLENCE AT NOON has some of the best editing comparable to Kurosawa's RASHOMON.Alex DeLargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17050773136046485614noreply@blogger.com
