Back in the olden days I was a big fan of punk rock and grabbed it from anyplace I could find it from, but mostly it was from Europe and the US, Australia, etc., not much available from Japan. Now here's this interesting little document called "Burst City" on DVD and it gives the viewer a little taste of perhaps what some of their punk scene was like. There's even a couple parts that could actually be "music videos" but a lot of it is crazed punk rockers playing and screaming while audiences pogo and police and others clash. According to something I read (the box?) there's actually some kind of story here but it's rather hard to pick out of that's the case. There are some awesome night car races and lots of strange and cryptic imagery, and riot police aimed at eliminating either punk rockers or demonstrators, hard to say and whatever dialog is provided doesn't really provide the viewer with much to go on. It's cool to watch though. I've seen two other films of Sogo Ishii, "Angel Dust" (NOTHING like this) and "Electric Dragon 800000 V" and that one is a bit more like this in spirit, I guess. I believe I've found a new Japanese director that I need to explore, not sure what else of his is available though. Burst City is 8 out of 10 in my book, as one other rater said, it's kind of "Mad Max" meets "Rock and Roll High School" and for want of a better description I'll go with that.
