This is a metaphor of patriotic complacency from one of Japan's prolific and cult directors. Notoriously known for his soft-core erotica films and his previous film United Red Army. Consecutively his films have been banned in Russia, America and China. Koji Wakamutsi presents a psychologically disturbing relationship between a soldier and his wife. Please note that all festival film screenings will start at the time advertised. Both screenings will include a short introduction from Andy Willis (Reader in Film Studies at the University of Salford).
