Talking of more recent films, I would definitely second Somai's work. 
He is the best director of the 1980s in Japan in my mind and it is a 
tragedy he was not introduced abroad when he was still alive. I love 
Ohikkoshi, but earlier works like Taifun kurabu, Shonben raida and 
Serafuku to kikanju are brilliant.
