Cruel Story Of Youth

"Cruel Story Of Youth" (Seishun Zankoku Monogatari) (1960) (Nagisa Oshima) 1960 / 97mins. / Original Aspect Ratio (2.35:1 Widescreen) / Japanese with English Subtitles / Color / Japan Picture Quality: A Two young delinquents start a relationship that will spell disaster for both of them. , This is an interesting story about how stupid and self-destructive people—young people in this case—can be. This movie was released in 1960, but look around and it's clear that the issues it brings up—although in a somewhat overly melodramatic way—continue to be relevant today, and probably always will be as long as human beings exist. The previous reviewer has the right to their negative opinion, but I think they missed the big picture, perhaps they are just too young to know any better. Besides following a good storyline, it is also well-shot. The cinematography is crisp. And the overall nature of the photography gives the film a fantastic and hermetic quality. It's gritty, and obviously seeks to be realistic, but it has the feel of a fable or a morality tale
