Five Films by Nagisa Oshima from Yume Pictures in the UK During 2008.

Fantastic news this, that Yume Pictures have five films lined up from Nagisa Oshima for 2008 release in the U.K - Violence at High Noon (1966), Pleasures of the Flesh (1965), Naked Youth (1960), Night and Fog in Tokyo (aka 'Night and Fog in Japan', 1960), The Sun's Burial (1960) - which will make up for the relative modern or missing representations of his work in the shape of 'Gohatto' and the hard(ish)-to-find 'In the Realm of the Senses'. No dates seem set yet, but I have hopes (and have written an email or two) to get my hands on these as soon as possible.

This is great news.I'd like to see more of his work on dvd.IMO Gohatto and In the Realm of the Senses are some of his weaker films.I wouldn't mind an upgrade of Death by Hanging.
