A matter of translation

[Mark Roberts]

Mathieu,

Somebody more knowledgeable might be able to pull Oda-san's career  
details out of their hat, but meanwhile I think we need more  
information -- "his next film" is a bit vague. Do you mean Oshima's  
next film after "Cruel Story of Youth"? Or the next one after the  
publication of "Sengo eiga hakai to sôzô" in 1963? Do you have a  
title? What is the context here?

My copy of "Sengo eiga" is packed away, but my recollection is that  
many of the essays are dated. If so, what is the exact date of the  
"notebook"? Did you, uh, check that against Oshima's filmography to  
infer a title?
