I'll check out Holy Beast then, thanks for the recommendation. I suppose one problem for me is that there's so much Suzuki Norifumi work out there. If I enjoy that, I'll seek out Sex and Fury, Female Prisoner: Scorpion, and probably Terrifying Girl's School (I'll try and keep an open mind.)

As for the two Oshimas, they do have fine color cinematography, but it's a world apart from the invention on display in the later films. Even Boy, which subverts an already subversive Cruel Story of Youth, looks more interesting to me.

Terrific interview with legendary British cinematographer, Gil Taylor.

And a very interesting interview with Vilmos Zsigmond from 2004.
