A Man Vanishes (人間蒸発 Ningen Jōhatsu) is a 1967 Japanese film by director Shohei Imamura.
Outline
Superficially, it is a documentary about an ordinary man who—like many Japanese every year—disappears without trace, leaving his job and fiancee behind. Imamura, though, takes the narrative in unexpected directions, causing the viewer to question what is reality and what might be fiction.
A Region 0 DVD release in the Masters of Cinema series was issued in October 2011.[1]
