Dir. by: #ShōheiImamura

In a poor 19th century rural Japanese village, everyone who reaches the age of 70 has to climb a nearby mountain to die. An elderly woman is reaching close to her cut-off age during her last days with her family.

#ShoheiImamura 's film, #Blackrain
is masterpiece.
But #Cannesinternationalfilmfestival didn't give any awards to him at that time, on the other hand they gave it to his other film, "Unagi". But in this time, he didn't visit to #Cannes .

When I watched this news, I was a child and including news casters, no one around me explained and even understood the reason of his attitude, so I just thought he was just a square head.

Jōhatsu, literally “evaporation” is the Japanese term for people disappearing without a trace. Salesman Tadashi Oshima is one of them. Director Shôhei Imamura, together with Oshima's fiancé Yoshie Hayakawa and actor Shigeru Tsuyuguchi created an investigative #documentary looks into this man, his possible whereabouts, and the others that are gone. 人間蒸発 [Ningen jôhatsu / A Man Vanishes] (1967) is a fascinating exploration of aspects of 1960s Japanese society that make jōhatsu distinct from similar, worldwide events.
