      Gradually blur the line between the living and the dead, and let the quietest undead make the strongest statement.

      The Japanese who are good at doing Weimei

      I remember that the first DVD I bought was Nagisa Oshima's [Dead of Love]. I watched it in the bedroom with my roommate. At that time, we were still discussing the injustice of the Japanese society of male superiority and female inferiority hidden in the film. He also said that he wanted to save the hardworking and humble wife in the film. . . The mysterious scene of throwing leaves into dry wells still pops up in
        my mind. When it comes to Japanese movies, I think of Japanese songs. I...

      "Love of the Dead": Can you tell the difference between desire and love?

      Liu Qiang loves movies

      When it comes to Nagisa Oshima, many people don't know it, but when it comes to "Sensual World" directed by him, most young people who like movies or not have heard of it. Indeed, the shocking World of Senses is so dazzling that it obscures its so-called "sister", this equally outstanding film-historical masterpiece, "Undead of Love", and people who know it are even better than those who know Nagisa Oshima less people. It has been more than ten years since...

      My watchbook: "Love of the Dead"

      The version I watched should have been cut, only 100 minutes. As Nagisa Oshima's erotic masterpiece after "The World of Senses", the popular version does not have a picture that can match even close to the scale of the former, really accurate. However, in terms of plot, the film is obviously much richer, combining erotic and horror factors, telling an oriental version of the legend of Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing. Of course, unlike the well-known story in China, the adulterer and prostitute in...

      the director said

      In 1978, the famous Japanese director Oshima Nagisa (1932~ ) wrote and directed the film "Dead of Love" produced by Anatole Deman, which constituted a sister piece with his 1976 "Sensual World". . These two works with world influence are both funded and produced by French people, but from the subject matter to the filming members and actors are all Japanese, and they are also shot in Japan, although they are "French films", although the film has penetrated The Western Freudian psychoanalytic...

      It seems reasonable to watch the French restored version. Of course, in the production of the 1978 film, there are some limitations. For example, the fire scene is difficult to shoot, but many of the artistic aesthetics are still quite powerful. Is the Japanese countryside at the end of the 19th century really like this? With a savage, sweaty, greasy, dirty lust, the dark horror movies are not clever, but they don't make people feel absurd and charming. Tenglong is also really sexy. There is no...

    On the surface, this is a "karma" crime movie with a ghostly color. But handled by Nagisa Oshima, the film emphasizes crime and death brought about by traditional female lust. The film still shows the most candid aspect of "sex". Details such as Fengji's impulsive shaving of Ashi's pubic hair are exactly the same as the scene where the pussy is stuffed with eggs in "Sensual World", expressing the sexual frenzy of both sexes in the most...
