Notre avis
Nagisa Oshima’s frenetic Japanese New Wave landmark is subsumed by sweaty, impetuous lust and impotent rage. Wrapped in garish hues, this tale of blasé delinquency speaks to the alienation and insecurity deeply felt by a young generation in post-occupation Japan. The kids are definitely not alright!
