*New: No Longer Human* (*Shin·Ningen Shikkaku*; 1978) is a Japanese drama loosely inspired by Osamu Dazai’s themes of alienation. The film follows a young man from an aristocratic northern Japanese family who feels disconnected with tradition and overwhelmed by Western influence, causing him to spiral into personal disqualification from social norms. Directed by Kôhei Yoshidome, it’s a sobering look at identity, change, and the weight of expectations. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
