BLOOD IS DRY (1960) - REMASTERED
Chi wa kawaiteru - The story of an employee who threatens to commit suicide when management announces a massive layoff and recounts how an insurance company uses this threat to its own advantage by turning it into an advertising campaign.
Yoshida's second Shochiku assignment turned away from the studio's dominant focus on troubled youth and generational conflict in order to paint a darker and more despairing portrait of society in a state of moral collapse. Taking sharp aim at Japan’s harshly competitive corporate culture, 'Blood is Dry' follows a hapless salaryman whose desperate gesture to prevent the mass layoff of his colleagues is ruthlessly and absurdly exploited by his company for a deeply ironic advertising campaign.
Based on one of Yoshida's original stories, 'Blood is Dry' is a formally daring and edgy film whose withering critique of corporate capitalism and the alienation of the working force remains particularly urgent today.
