It is almost a miracle that movies like Gohatto are still made. Director Nagisa Oshima is true to his traditions and creates his best work to date. None of his earlier films (In the realm of sensens, Merry Christmas Mr.Lawrence, Empire of Passion, Max mon amour)has had the same quality and control over the style. Influence has clearly been Kenji Mizoguchi and Masaki Kobayashi movies. Mood is often like straight from Kwaidan and imagery reminds me often Mizoguchi's Ugetsu Monogatari. And saying this i don't mean that Mr.Oshima is making a rip off here, but he is taking the same kind of material into the new levels. Into the realm that we have never been in. Watching Gohatto is like floating through beatiful and eerie dream world. That dream world is supported by fantastic musical score made by Ryuchi Sakamoto. Gohatto is also the sexiest movie of the decade. Gay scenery is very stylish and erotic. Oshima is truly the finest Japanese director working today and i hope i'll see more of his new works in the future. -Emil K.
