Director: Shinji Sômai
1985 / 115min / 4K DCP
Emotionally raw, enormously tender and, finally, tentatively hopeful, Sômai’s breakthrough film—winner of the Grand Prix at the first Tokyo International Film Festival—observes a group of provincial junior high students who find themselves forced to take shelter in their school, unsupervised, as a savage summer storm makes landfall, unleashing their repressed anger and amour as the Biblical deluge threatens to drown their sleepy village. “One of the most beautiful and touching teenage films I’ve ever seen. An absolutely devastating film.”—Bernardo Bertolucci
New 4K restoration from the original camera negative, supervised by assistant director Koji Enokido
