When a Korean man survives his own execution by hanging, the prison officials are thrown into crisis: can someone who has lived through their sentence be executed again? Compounding the problem, the condemned man has lost all memory of his crime. In a darkly brilliant black farce, Nagisa Oshima dismantles Japan's judicial system, exposing the racism and bureaucratic absurdity at its heart. DEATH BY HANGING is one of the essential films of the Japanese New Wave - a scathing, formally audacious work of political cinema.

Presented in a new 4K restoration, plus the 1965 Oshima documentary YUNBOGI'S DIARY.
