Can anyone recommend more films from Japan that need to be on my watchlist?
I'm aware of all filmographies from Kitano, Kurosawa, H Koreeda, Ozu, Mizoguchi, N Kawase, Takashi Miike, Ryűsuke Hamaguchi so these can be excluded as I've seen many. I'm not particularly a fan of anime or horror. And I've seen the following:
Woman in the Dunes
Onibaba
Kuroneko
Tetsuo
Pulse
Cure
Confessions
Tokyo Sonata
Hausu
Battle Royale
Kwaidan
The Ballad of Narayama
Vengeance is Mine
Fires on the Plain
Branded to Kill
A Colt is my Passport
Lady Snowblood
The Ghost of Yotsuya
I have these on my watchlist:
An Actor's revenge
Death by Hanging
Tokyo Drift
The Face of Another
Funeral Parade of Roses
Jigoku
Yearning
So I prefer crime thrillers or dramas. Not a massive fan of martial arts or samurai but wouldn't count them out.
Any others that are essential viewing?
