Country: Japan
Directed by Koreyoshi Kurahara
From the many Japanese movies of 50's and 60's having as subject a wild dangerous youth and unlawful characters with a reckless lifestyle, this is my favorite. Not only because it uses sex, crime and violence justified enough and not just as a way to attracts tickets. What a admire to the film mostly is that presents its young marginalized characters as 'ugly' without any idealization but also it doesn't ends with conservative moral conclusions and depicts equally the hidden ugliness of the uper classes. Then the film is quite innovative: uses its music score with fantastic way, he manages at times to escalate a feeling of frenzy when at other moments gives you the feel of documentary, its directed with fresness and its quite imaginative. A rather unknown gem of Japanese cinema
