Ogawa / Hammer

[Mark H Nornes]

The Harada film might be interesting. Harada is smart and political in the
left sense, but he was basically a movie otaku (especially Hollywood) when
others were invested in the student movement. Thus, he has few ghosts
haunting him, which probably helps explain both his films' use of leftist
imagery in a cavalier manner and the fact that he can do Asama Sanso from
the pov of a cop!
