À quoi s’attendre
The failed execution exposes the institution around it. Oshima makes the authorities' attempts to recover control into a dark and increasingly surreal farce. The question is not simply whether one man is guilty: the treatment of a Korean man in Japan brings the state's categories and prejudices into view. Attend to the explanations used to preserve authority when the procedure itself has ceased to make sense.
Comment aborder le film
Hold on to the opening premise, then follow each attempt by the officials to justify their next move. It is more useful to track their reasoning and contradictions than to expect an ordinary investigation or courtroom narrative.
