Hello. <br><br>I am writing a dissertation chapter on Oshima's Death by Hanging (Koshikei 1968) in relation to the <br>"nisei mondai" of zainichi Koreans. <br><br>I am fascinated by the fact that Stephen Heath places such importance on the film in his two articles "Narrative Space"<br>
and "Anata mo" (both in Screen, 1976). <br>Although there is, for a brief period, some discussions between Heath and Colin MacCabe on Death by Hanging, this <br>only lasts for a couple of issues.<br><b>Does anyone know if there was a major Oshima retrospective in England or around that prompted scholars to write about <br>
Death by Hanging all of a sudden after 8 years from its release in Japan (and the Marche du Film at 1968 Cannes).</b><br><br>Thank you and best wishes for the holiday season.<br><br>Shota<br> <br clear="all"><br>-- <br>----------------------------------------<br>
