2. Violence at Noon - 8/10
3. Japanese Summer: Double Suicide - 8/10

Good stuff. There are several qualities with these films but I particularly like the musical scores in Oshima's films in general, as well as the warped sound editing/effects. He had a great eye for images as well, managed to bring out some solid performances from his actors, and knew what he was doing when it comes to long takes.
