Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'furyo' subgenre romanticizes 80s-90s Japanese youth gangs; this film deliberately strips away the cool to expose the loneliness underneath.
Director Hiroshi Shinagawa cast actual former juvenile delinquents in supporting roles, including one who'd served time with the real-life inspiration for Tatsuya.
