"The films of the Japanese director Nagisa Oshima can prove frustrating to impatient cineastes. They stem (like those of the French auteur Jean-Luc Godard, to whom Mr. Oshima is frequently compared) from an oblique imagination. Beyond that, Western viewers must face the inscrutability characteristic of Japanese cinema generally. Still, the effort is often worthwhile, as many have found over the years, and more are discovering all the time on DVD."
