The Man Who Left His Will on Film [Blu-ray]

A student filmmaker documents his final days on film before his death, only for the footage to be seized by police. As his classmates debate how to retrieve the film and camera, a radical student takes matters into his own hands, becoming increasingly obsessed with his quest and starting a relationship with the deceased's girlfriend. As the line between past and present blurs, the young man finds himself identifying with his dead friend. This film, incorporating figures from Japan's amateur filmmaking scene, serves as Nagisa Oshima's final commentary on the student protest movement he previously criticized in 'Night and Fog in Japan'.
