Masahiro Shinoda is one of the finest directors of Japan's Nouvelle Vague period, but his work is often overlooked when discussing the great filmmakers of the 1960s and '70s. Eric is a big fan of Shinoda, so he persuaded Jason to begin a look into the great man's films, starting with Pale Flower and With Beauty and Sorrow. And what a beginning it is! These two films are powerhouses, smart genre work which has a real energy and strength that makes them stand out. They are indeed overlooked masterpieces. Join the guys for 90 minutes' discussion about these overlooked gems - both of which are available on Criterion Channel.
