SCREENING
22 Aug Sun - 4.00pm

A zany, raucous, biting satire of the racist and chauvinist assumptions of post-war Japan, the film follows the comic misadventures of three bumbling students mistaken for Korean stowaways. A visually stunning, crazily scored and exuberant work shot in eye-popping CinemaScope, the film uses its screwball fable to reveal the lingering militaristic vestiges of Japan’s nationalist past and the dramatically expanding gulf separating youth from the pre-war generation, while delivering a stinging commentary on the Vietnam War.
