A Man Vanishes (Ningen Johatsu)

[Jerry Turner]

Happy New Year Everyone.

I've been on quite the Shohei Imamura kick lately, and just finished
watching Ningen Johatsu. Despite the english subtitles being a bit rough, I
was throughly enthralled by it.

Does anyone know the lowdown regarding the realistic elements of the film?
Was Tadashi Oshima really a missing person? And what happened to Yoshie and
her sister? Were any interviews done with them after the release of the
film? As one character(?) in the film states, she would have been a great
actress.
