The Catch 飼育 (1961) : Based on a prize-winning novella by Kenzaburo Oe -– Oshima removes the homoeroticism of the source but adds his typical touch of incestuous desire –- The Catch is set during the final days of World War II. A black GI is captured in a remote Japanese farming village, and becomes a pawn in a power struggle between various factions. As the villagers squabble over their “catch,” Oshima explores subjects that would become his hallmarks – Japanese hypocrisy, racism, xenophobia, insularity, scapegoating – with detached ferocity.

Quote:
Director Teruo Ishi’s crime action follows the investigative adventures of an undercover cop working with a prostitution ring. It’s done in an unique documentary style

Quote:
Ishii Teruo shot his 1958 noir Flesh Pier (Jotai Sanbashi) on the back streets of Akasaka, Ginza and Shinjuku in a semi-documentary style, opening with a roving camera and a dulcet-voiced narrator describing the existence of “another world” of illicit pleasures beneath the glittering neon surface.
