A Man Vanishes
1967 Japan Dir: Shohei Imamura
Stars:
IMDB
This film is like an overindulgent directors cut. Truth/Fiction, the point is made and then the film goes on for 20 minutes, or more, longer showing a you did/I didn’t argument. I sat there almost begging for the film to finish. The first part of the film is very slowly paced, but almost brilliantly creates a documentary style/feel. Unfortunately that does not help save the film.
Why See It? You are a film student.
