Presented as part of The New Age of the New Wave

Presented by: Todd Hughes, Director, Language Center

Japan (1964) Dir: Seijun Suzuki.
Set immediately after WWII, this film explores the desperate lengths a devastated community must go to in order to survive. A group of prostitutes live and work in the basement of a bombed-out building in Tokyo, governing themselves with a strict code of conduct. The women's solidarity breaks down when they shelter a wounded man as each woman claims him for herself. Originally intended as a gritty erotic tale, Suzuki uses his wartime experiences to depict the depths to which post-war urban centers fell.

In Japanese with English subtitles. 90 minutes. DVD.

Funded in part by the Language Center. Held in conjunction with International Education Week.

Presenters will provide an introduction and facilitate post-screening discussion for each film.

Sarratt Cinema is located on the first floor of the Sarratt Student Center at Vanderbilt University.
