Eclipse Series 28: The Warped World of Koreyoshi Kurahara (Intimidation, The Warped Ones, I Hate But Love, Black Sun, Thirst for Love) (Criterion Collection) Reviews

The 1960s were a creatively explosive time for Japanese cinema. With a plethora of artists like Akira Kurosawa, Nagisa Oshima, and Shohei Imamura leading the way, Koreyoshi Kurahara tackled a number of different genre films during his most experimental era of filmmaking working his unique style of moviemaking out of the Nikkatsu studios and establishing a reputation as one of Japan’s most varied and eccentric directors. Though little known in the West, his popularity in Japan during an extremely long and prolific career never faltered. The Warped World of Koreyohi Kurahara presents five distinctive if qualitatively erratic works which make a good show of introducing this little-known filmmaker to those eager to learn more about Japanese cinema.
