Oshima may not be the most well-known director outside of Japan, but he leaves behind an award-winning legacy. Oshima&#8217;s films dealt with a wide range of subjects, typically set during wartime Japan and (controversially) involving explicit sexuality. This style and thematic content earned him a distinction as one of the most notable Japanese New Wave filmmakers.<\/p>\n<p>Oshima is not especially well-known in the United States. If you have never heard of the director, now is a good time to start watching. We have several of Oshima&#8217;s films in our collection, including a lengthy interview he conducted with acclaimed Japanese director Akira Kurosawa.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0047478\/\">Seven Samurai<\/a> (specal features) \u2013 DVD 13<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0085933\/\">Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence<\/a> \u2013 HU DVD 10689<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0059159\/\">Pleasures of the Flesh<\/a> \u2013 HU DVD 9873<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0060486\/\">Violence at Noon<\/a> \u2013 HU DVD 9874<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0062042\/\">Sing a Song of Sex<\/a> \u2013 HU DVD 9875<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0062009\/\">Japanese Summer: Double Suicide<\/a> \u2013 HU DVD 9876<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0063169\/\">Three Resurrected Drunkards<\/a> \u2013 HU DVD 9877 <\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0077132\/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1\">Empire of Passion<\/a>&nbsp;\u2013 HU DVD 10660<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Japanese director Nagisa Oshima died yesterday following long-term stroke complications.
