Cruel Story of Youth Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
An anti-Ozu film that offers an embittered take on the moral disillusionment of youth in a changing postwar Japan.
Psychocinematography
Pieter-Jan Van Haecke
With his narrative, Oshima (prophetically) confronts us that the fact that what destroys idealism is nothing but a forced societal call to enjoy and to consume.
Asian Movie Pulse
Panos Kotzathanasis
In a prime sample of the Japanese New Wave that emerged in the late fifties in Japan, Oshima focuses, artfully, on adolescent delinquency, the sexual revolution, and the failures of the post-war generation, themes that were untouched up to that point.
