Masuo Sakurada (Kenzo Kawarazaki) journeyed far to be by the side of his cousin Terumichi (Atsuo Nakamura) after receiving a telegram with a veiled threat of suicide. Along the way, he'd resignedly look back upon a codependent life spent with generations of a neurotic and toxic family whose members never seemed to tire of exploiting his dutiful nature. Sobering study from Nagisa Oshima also stars Atsuko Kaku, Nobuko Otowa, Kei Sato. 123 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Japanese; Subtitles: English. In Japanese with English subtitles. Region Free
