33. Crazed fruit (1956)


Country: Japan
Directed by Ko Nakahiro

Under the today's lights this movie doesn't seem too impressive. Is a typical provocative story of wasted and rebellious youth , the kind of movie that you suspect that is trying to scandalize the viewers in order to get fame and to sell tickets. However, 'Crazed fruits' is much more than this. Experimenting with the form , presenting ambiguous characters, displaying sexuality and violence, the movie left the door wide open for a generation of young film makers that followed : they picked all these elements up forming the new Japanese cinema of the 60's
