Monday, Jan. 16 - The Warped Ones

The Warped Ones (1960)
Kyonetsu no kisetsu (original title)


Two teenage convicts and a young prostitute wreak havoc in Tokyo. Dynamic photography and a cool jazz score augment the air of pure anarchy as our three anti-heroes plow through society, p***ing off as many people as possible. Some breathtaking location scenery of urban Japan, and stark illustrations of sociopathic nihilism make this a real eye-opener, and a fascinating look at early 60s Japan youth culture.
