Review of Why Not?

Why Not? (1981)
7/10
chaotic lower class Japan
20 June 2022
It's 1866. Genji returns to Japan after six years in America. He's told that his wife had been sold. It's the turbulent end of the Edo era but filmmaker Shôhei Imamura follows the lowly common man.

I am interested in Genji and Ine. I like this lower class Japan. It's not something that I've seen before. The story is somewhat chaotic. There is a lot going on. I would like to have less. I do like the crass ugliness and its beauty. This has good energy.
