ESCAPE FROM JAPAN (1964) - REMASTERED
Nihon dasshutsu - takes the reputed yet globally neglected Japanese master director Yoshishige Yoshida into genre territory with satirical intentions.
A group of crime-ridden young adults devise a plan to rob the Turkish bath that one of their friends works at. The plan, as one can predict, does not go as the group expected and they begin to sort through all the problems. Eventually, two of the people involved in the heist, Yasue and Tatsuo form a romantic bond. The lovers on the run then set forth their plan to “escape from Japan” to the freedom of America, which they've idealized as a land of riches and freedom.
This film, which was produced just after Akitsu Springs is a different type of action movie in which it is more of a satire on the social conditions of the time.
Director: Yoshishige Yoshida
Stars: Yasushi Suzuki, Miyuki Kuwano, Ryohei Uchida
