How it feels

The film follows several lost young people moving through Tokyo's sleazy underground. They drift through scenes of violence, sex, and drug use in a society that seems to have lost its moral compass.

What happens

"Janku fudo" ("Rämpstoit") on jaapani filmirežissööri Masashi Yamamoto 1997. aastal valminud mängufilm, mis oma postmodernse lähenemisega Tōkyō räpasesse, vägivaldsusest ja hedonismist tiinesse ühiskonda šokeeris vaatajaid. Yamamoto kasutas filmis mitteprofessionaalseid näitlejaid ning tema visuaalselt stiili võrreldi Takashi Miike omaga. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
