| Brief Description: | Rejecting the standards of subject matter, visual style and narrative conventions of the Japanese cinema of the time, Seijun Suzuki turned his exploitation genre assignments into wildly original efforts that still manage to startle with their visceral power. This film follows a group of violent high school kids in the early 1930s as they fill their days with constant fighting and personal conflicts. Also known as Violence Elegy and Elegy for a Quarrel. Made the same year as Suzuki's classic, Tokyo Drifter. In Japanese with English subtitles. |
