About
Pigs and Battleships

it is sort of a definitive masterpiece. imamura is immensely gifted in the manner in which he manages to parody the japanese nation under the americans as well as as presenting an insight into the lowest and most realistic of japanese classes. the visuals are beautiful, the script is snappy, funny and in the end philosophical. i just love how real everything becomes in an imamura film. there is only one.
