Fantoma dvd continues to release films by the Japanese director, Yasuzo Masumura. Coming out in a couple of weeks, Black Test Car is another biting satire by Masumura, this time focusing on the Japanese auto industry. The film details the lengths that competitors will go to gain an advantage over their rivals, from behind closed door board room intrigue, to the bedroom, to even hilarious James Bond like escapades. Masumura's films are great to watch, as they are not only entertaining, but provide criticism of his own country, in the social and political realms. Other films to watch are Red Angel, Giants & Toys, Afraid to Die (starring the novelist Yukio Mishima in a detective film), Manji, and his wild masterpiece, Blind Beast. I'm looking forward to this one!
