Tfw the wind from the open car window blows Saeda Kawaguchi’s hair across her face. *chef kiss*

Wakamatsu’s allegory meter is set too low - or too high - for this to mean anything more to me, but as a brutal, immediate slice of Japanese new wave cinema it is gripping in its ferocity. Ken Yoshizawa murders AN ENTIRE TOWN because they tried to hang him and take his land, and in an interesting reversal the colorized scenes are the only bits in the film that aren’t drenched in blood.

Not enough naked European chicks lol jk there are enough

I thought it was a dumb name too, but there's a surprising amount of gardening in this movie! For every brutal, violent scene of post-apoc hoodiemen savagely killing each other there are about 50 that are just some dude survivaling - and at least one time jerking off on his plants. Why do I feel like I'm not selling this very well.
