Among young filmmakers who emerged from the “New Wave” launched by Shōchiku Studios in the late 1950s to attract new audiences, Nagisa Ōshima established himself as its chief troublemaker. His radical choices led him to break away from the studio system, forging a filmography filled with unforgettable visions, defiant characters, and unfettered ideas that never ceased to be complex, bold, and surprising. Presented in collaboration with the Festival du nouveau cinéma, this series highlights Ōshima's work from the 1960s, alongside the celebrated masterpieces of his later career.

Nagisa Ōshima : l'ébullition des années 1960

Notre cycle consacré à Nagisa Ōshima, présenté en collaboration avec le Festival du nouveau cinéma, est l’occasion de redécouvrir certains films de la première période de son œuvre, dans les années 1960, avant qu’il ne réalise ses titres fameux des décennies suivantes. Nous présentons cinq œuvres parmi cette période féconde : Cruel Story of Youth (1960), Death by Hanging (1968), Diary of a Shinjuku Thief (1969) et Boy (1969), ainsi qu’un moyen métrage qui est un film de commande, A Small Child’s First Adventure (1963).
