Death by Hanging in Screen

[ryan.cook at yale.edu]

Hi Shota,

Not sure about screenings of Koshikei, but the discussion in 1976 probably has
something to do with the release of Ai no koriida that year.  Wide 
Angle (where
Heath published "The Question Oshima") put out more than one special issue on
Oshima and Japanese cinema around 76-77, I think.
