Buta to gunkan
Shohei Imamura / JP, 1961
This biting social satire set in post-war Japan highlights the power struggle between small-time gangsters in Yokosuka, a harbour town. The increasingly absurd competition ends in a hilarious climax. The film is screened as part of EYE’s Japan programme which runs until December.
