Dear all,

While browsing on the Shochiku VOD site (http://shochikuonline.jp/), i was
thinking if there is a kind of 'Shochiku New Wave' filmography ressource(s)?
There is well-known directors such as Oshima, Yoshida, Shinoda .. but was the
so-called 'Shochiku New Wave' also involving others lesser-known directors (or
'interesting' movies)?
Hani's 'a full life' seems to be a good example, but i can't find any others.

I am also interested in early 60s Shochiku 'taiyozoku-esque' movies inspired by
the Nikkatsu movement (there was one interesting 1960 movie mentionned in Jasper
Sharp's book, it was even distributed in UK!) or 'sexploitation' (apart from the
Takechi distributed movies)

Thanks!
