About

You can stream Night and Fog in Japan (1960) on Criterion Channel with a subscription.

Long takes and a highly theatrical visual approach combine to form a tense and confrontational look at the decline of a socialist student activists' movement in Japan.

A searing, feverish energy radiates from the central performances as the radical fervor of a student movement begins to fracture. Long, static shots force you to sit uncomfortably within the crumbling ideals of a dying political era.
