The notoriously affronting 1987 documentary, originally initiated by Imamura, is as much a portrait of Kenzo Okazaki – an ageing veteran who had survived the desperate battles in Papua New Guinea towards the end of the Second World War – as an investigative pursuit that seeks to uncover the atrocities committed by the Japanese Imperial Army. Hara’s landmark film observes Okazaki’s relentless – and increasingly violent and ethically dubious – pursuit of his former comrades.

Following an eleven-year documentary period, Shōhei Imamura returned to fiction with Vengeance is Mine, a serpentine thriller that reinforces his focus on the dark underbelly of everyday reality.

“Computer programmer/beekeeper Jacob gets a “television” implanted in his brain by a race of telekinetic bees, which causes him to experience severe hallucinations.” So goes the setup for David Blair’s unclassifiable 1991 work Wax, Or the Discovery of Television Among the Bees, but this description only encapsulates a portion of the hyper-digressive, decidedly peculiar contents of this singular, visually arresting film.

The ensemble comedy masterpiece directed by Imamura’s mentor Yūzō Kawashima, co-written with Imamura and Keichi Tanaka offers a sly critique of the Meiji Restoration period, as the film exposes the encroachment of Westernisation in Japan, against rapidly dissipating ideas of honour and tradition, as sacred promises are ruptured, and deception offers the only turns to fortune.

In Pereda’s Kafkaesque thriller of bureaucracy, a mine-worker Lázaro becomes increasingly mired by respiratory issues after he finds a corpse on the side of the road.

The film’s title Eijanaika translates directly to “Why not?”, referring to a collective popular movement marked by singing, dancing, and the chanting of “eijanaika” across Japan in the third year of Keio (1867).
