Bear(1993)

Bear (10 minutes, 35 seconds) was Steve McQueen's first major film. Although not an overtly political work, for many viewers it raises sensitive issues about race, homoeroticism and violence.

The film is silent but a series of stares, glances and winks between the protagonists creates an optical language of flirtation and threat.

Dick Cheney in a Cold, Dark Cell(2009)

Impunity is not just the stuff of autocratic dictatorships in the third world. The American form of impunity is going to get us all killed."

Closed Vagina(1963)

Adachi's follow-up to Bowl using the figure of a woman suffering from an unusual sexual aliment has often been taken as a controversial allegory for the political stalemate of the Leftist student movement after their impressive wave of massive fiery protests failed to defeat the neo-imperialist Japan-US Security Treaty. The ritualistic solemnity of the charged sexual scenes contribute to the oneiric qualities of Closed Vagina which Adachi would later insist was an open work, not meant to deliver any kind of deliberate political message. - Harvard Film Archive
