Programmer's Pick
Wakamatsu's film is a raw, unflinching plunge into the abyss of trauma and youth alienation—Japanese New Wave distilled to a bleak rooftop and two broken souls. The black-and-white palette punctuated by color flashbacks only heightens its lacerating mood. Not for the faint of heart, but essential for fans of psychological extremes.
