Paper Introduction:
The Japanese film director Oshima Nagisa (b. 1932) is an artist who has been regularly subjected to censure and even to censorship. Although he is best known in the West for his 1976 film In the Realm of the Senses (Ai no Corrida), Oshima's movies have caused controversy since very near the beginning of his career in the 1950s. In addition to directing films--which he now does only rarely--he is a prolific writer on film theory and commentator on social topics, as well as the host of a long-running talk show on Japanese television. At the heart of the censorship that Oshima seems to provoke is his view of the relationship between the individual and society. In many of his films (and in his writings and frequent interviews) Oshima indicates that "a violent break with society is necessary to effect any real social growth" or, indeed, any significant change
