The plot of the Man Who Left His Will on Film follows a young college student who plummets off a rooftop to his death with only his camera and spare film in hand. His friend in his film club recovers the film testament after the police handle it. This young college student is inspired by the film and sets off with the deceased's ex-girlfriend to locate and re-create the places where he shot. The film has a Marxist agenda to it. All the members of the film club have strong leftist leanings and even participate in many demonstrations throughout Tokyo.

The Man Who Left His Will on Film is definitely Oshima's most experimental film so far, as many other critics and reviewers claim. Its like David Lynch and Seijun Suzuki collaboration to produce a disjointed film on film narrative. While it may be a complex film, I definitely recommend it.

It has English sub-titles, in black and white, full screen, and comes in a case but no box art. It is a region 0 dvd and will play on all US machines. Quality is good for it’s time, and in mono sound the way it was shot in 1970. Running time is 94 minutes.
