- Synopsis:
- Imamura finally answered his true calling as Japanese cinema's most dedicated and brilliant chronicler of society's underbelly with the astonishing 'Pigs and Battleships' (Buta togunkan). A riotous portrait of sub-Yakuza gangsters battling for control of the local pork business in the U.S. Navy-occupied coastal town of Yokosuka, Imamura conjures a chaotic world of petty thugs, young love, tough-headed women, and underworld hypochondria, with one of the most unforgettable climaxes ever filmed. 'Pigs and Battleships' immediately became a cornerstone of the Japanese New Wave and remains perhaps Imamura's most well known work.
