Plot
A schoolboy channels his desires into violence.
Sinekatalog’s take
Seijun Suzuki's comic drama follows a pious schoolboy who channels his sexual frustration into fistfights in 1930s Japan. Wild, funny and sharply satirical of militarism, it is an energetic and stylish classic.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
