Crazed Fruit (1956)
8/10
A bleak masterpiece
10 September 2017
Natsuhisa and Haruji are brothers. Natsuhisa, the older brother, is a bit of a nihilist, devoting all his time to booze and women and hanging with his friends with similar pursuits. Haruji hangs around with his brother, but doesn't approve of his lifestyle. Haruji meets Eri and they date. Natsuhisa is awe struck that his brother has got such a stunning girl, and is determined to find out why. He finds out her secret, and blackmails her into starting a sexual relationship with him. A surprisingly bleak and raunchy film for 1950's Japan. The ending is quietly devastating.
