Review of Fighting Elegy (1966) by Oliver K — 29 Sep 2011
Fighting Elegy is an incredibly fun movie by one of Japan's most individualistic directors. With its tongue-in-cheek look at Japan during the 1930s and, to a lesser extent, the Japanese military, Suzuki allows the audience to view young men so caught up in the ideals of manliness that they struggle to become full individuals.
Our hot blooded hero Kiroku channels his unsatisfied lust into the only outlet available: savage crazed violence!! This movie is a very entertaining blend of absurdity and realism. Loved it.
