Content: Deep within the wind-swept marshes of war-torn medieval Japan, an impoverished mother and her daughter-in-law eke out a lonely, desperate existence. Forced to murder lost samurai and sell their belongings for grain, they dump the corpses down a deep, dark hole and live off of their meager spoils. When a bedraggled neighbor returns from the skirmishes, lust, jealousy, and rage threaten to destroy the trio's tenuous existence, before an ominous, ill-gotten demon mask seals the trio's horrifying fate. Driven by primal emotions, dark eroticism, a frenzied score by Hikaru Hayashi, and stunning images both lyrical and macabre, Kaneto Shindo's chilling folktale Onibaba is a singular cinematic experience.

Content: Die alte Frage Was ist der Mensch?" in einem Film des Japaners Shindo (geb. 1912; "Die nackte Insel", 1961), der eine blutige Legende aus den mittelalterlichen Kriegen seines Landes so abschreckend wie brillant ins Bild setzt. Inmitten einer riesigen Schilflandschaft hausen in einer Bambushütte zwei Frauen. Im Kampf ums nackte Dasein lauern sie desertierenden Kriegern auf, töten sie und verkaufen deren Habe gegen Hirse und Reis an einen Händler... Im Aufbau der Handlung an der klassischen Tragödie orientiert, rückt der Film Bilder von zarter Poesie neben solche von brutalem Realismus: Eine schockierende Anklage des Krieges und seiner demoralisierenden Zwänge. Leider bleibt die deutsche Synchronisation mangelhaft."(Lexikon des internationalen Films)

Content: Genius provocateur Nagisa Oshima, an influential figure in the Japanese New Wave of the 1960s, made one of his most startling political statements with the compelling pitch-black satire Death by Hanging. In this macabre farce, a Korean man is sentenced to death in Japan but survives his execution, sending the authorities into a panic about what to do next. At once disturbing and oddly amusing, Oshima’s constantly surprising film is a subversive and surreal indictment of both capital punishment and the treatment of Korean immigrants in his country.(The Criterion Collection)

Series Statement: The Shōhei Imamura masterpiece collection : [Medienkombination] 2

Content: Imamura Shohei's chilling portrait was voted the best Japanese film of the decade by critics in both Los Angeles and New York. Based on a true story and a prize-winning novel, this is an icily precise account of a killer who abandons his devout Catholic family and his faith to go on a 78-day spree of murder and mayhem. The unnerving objectivity with which Imamura tells the story, combined with the film's formal beauty and precision and its refusal to explain or condemn, produces a devastating effect. "Inside of this man, could there be nothing but hollowness? I think I can see the forlorn inner soul of today's man." (Imamura) (Covertext)
