Synopsis

A seminal film in the taiyazoku ("sun tribe") genre, Ko Nakahira's well-crafted, atmospheric drama chronicles the experiences of delinquent, pleasure-seeking Japanese youth during a long summer at the seashore. Two brothers (Ishihara Yujiro and Tsugawa Masahiko) compete for the attention of a young woman (Kitahara Mie) while indulging in drinking, gambling, and mischief. The film''s lurid portrayal of rebellion and casual sex among privileged youth was savaged by Japanese audiences, but French New Wave critics were immediately dazzled by the film''s signature blend of raw energy and visual style. In Japanese with English subtitles. Ko Nakahira---Japan---1956---86 mins.
