  Set in the post-war slums of Osaka The Sun's Burial follows the lives and fates of the denizens of this hellish ghetto. Pimps prostitutes drug addicts vagrants hustlers and gangsters struggle to survive amidst the poverty and decay of 1950's Japan. Unflinching in it's portrayal of life in these slums the film goes beyond a documentary-style realism to achieve a garish lurid Cinemascope aesthetic that is at once repulsive and yet mesmerising. It's a pitiless and dispassionate portrait of a living hell that lurks behind the facade of a prosperous new Japan a place where everything - food sex even blood - is simply a commodity to be stolen and sold.

  This rarely seen gem from the master Suzuki casts teenage heart-throb Koji Wada as young misfit who suddenly finds himself the unwitting pawn in an escalating family feud that ultimately leads to tragedy. This is the DVD premiere of Suzuki's first colour feature. Lean mean and stylish as always this tale of youth-gone-wild is both vibrant and touching. Suzuki contrasts tranquil glimpses of traditional regional life with the emergence of the new rock 'n' roll youth culture and the greed and seething cynicism of encroaching Westernisation. Also released under the title Go To Hell Hoodlums! this is a melodrama as colourful shocking and exhilarating as one would come to expect from Japan's master filmmaker.
