Synopsis
Koji Wakamatsu’s epic docudrama explores the political unrest of
1960s Japan, when mass student uprisings coincided with the
beginnings of the far-left United Red Army group, which tortured and
murdered its “deviant” members during a 1972 training session.
An uncompromising piece of filmmaking from one of Japan’s most
controversial filmmakers, Koji Wakamatsu, with a score by American
musician (and ex-Sonic Youth member) Jim O’Rourke.
