如果把導演比喻作廚師,那大島渚的拿手好菜就肯定是勁辣地獄拉麵。四十多年前已經赤條條血淋淋地把人性的陰暗面藉一對男女的扭曲關係一語道破。放諸戰後日本的時代背景,更不難感受片中所迸發出來的憤怒和反抗情緒。真琴和阿清的悲情,反映了導演對無可挽回的青春既悲哀無奈又憤怒彷徨的心態。
Deeply rooted
in the dynamic socio-political climate of post-occupation
Japanese society, CRUEL STORY OF YOUTH is
a stylistically bold, incisive, and provocative examination
of hopelessness, victimization, apathy, exploitation, and
cultural alienation. The story of Makoto and Kiyoshi is the
epitome of a generation/nation's aimlessness, moral bankruptcy
and loss of innocence. |
