Fully restored digital cinema presentation. Dishonor among thieves runs rampant as the port town of Yokosuka is placed into a power play from the area rag-tag gangsters (yakuza) and the corrupt businessmen (chimpira), all looking to profit from a ravaged, post-war Japan. With the city’s residents working to make due and make sense of incoming fleets of United States naval officers, celebrated director Shohei Imamura focuses on the plight of one young couple as they fall into the trappings of this building frenetic and near-absurd new world order to twisted, chaotic results.
