Death by Hanging - Koshikei (1968, Nagisa Oshima) Japanese with English hard subtitles

Japan in the 1960ies:

A young man of Korean descent is about to be executed for the

rape and killing of two schoolgirls. But then something

unexpected happens and slowly the whole front of law and order

put up by the officials present at the hanging is eroded

little by little as they reveal more and more of their true

feelings and thoughts.
