"Burst City"
1982
Directed by Sogo Ishii
Set in a violent,
futuristic Tokyo, Sogo Ishii's anarchic thriller tells of a mob of punks who
converge to protest the erection of a nuclear power plant on their home
turf. When riot police and yakuza toughs arrive to crack down on the
activists, they're met by a mysterious band of metal-clad bikers who are all
too ready to rumble. This charged, hard-rocking cyberpunk thriller is a
career-topper for the cult veteran Ishii. Japanese with English subtitles.
116 minutes. |
