| Brief Description: | Militant Japanese radicals, driven as much by erotic arousal as social activism, attempt to steal weapons from a U.S. army base, only to discover they have been betrayed by their own organization. With their fragile belief system now shattered, they succumb to political and sexual anarchy in an ultimate act of rebellion. This unforgettable offering from Japan's golden age of exploitation is a potent critique of the failure of the radical movement of the '60s and early '70s, as well as a heavy-duty dose of sheer cinematic excess. "Koji Wakamatsu must be viewed retrospectively as probably the greatest--and certainly the most prolific--underground/avant-garde film director Japan has ever produced" (Jack Hunter, Eros in Hell: Sex, Blood and Madness in Japanese Cinema). In Japanese with English subtitles. |
