Night and Fog in Japan
Capsule by Dave Kehr
From the Chicago Reader

Nagisa Oshima's didactic 1960 film seems to anticipate the Maoist Godard: against a black background, different symbolic characters step forward to offer an analysis of the failure of Japan's traditional left and offer suggestions to the new wave of student protesters. With Fumio Watanabe and Miyuki Kuwano. In Japanese with subtitles. 107 min. --Dave Kehr
