Country: Japan
Directed by Nagisa Oshima
One of my most favorite movies of rebellious youth ever, this film is a ground breaking work as defines the New Wave era opposing most of the things that the old Japanese cinema was standing for. Although the exploitation films with sex, crime and violence were already a trend in Japan, Oshima's intellectual approach eleveted this concept in a very high level as he used it as a platform to present a psycological study of the rather existential anxiety of young people and its connection with the social and political issues of his era. Stunning colors and visuals, documentary style of filming but with sound effects that give to it a weird dreamy feeling that communicates with the subconscious
