Pre-screening Tour, 6:30 pm
Oshima presents a gritty view of Japan’s underworld with a broad swipe at the image of Japan as the “land of the rising sun.” Two gangs—a young, ragtag crew and an organized older band of yakuza—vie to control the black market, prostitution, and other dirty dealings in an Osaka slum. 1960, new 35mm print, 87 minutes.
