Fighting Delinquents

This rarely seen gem from the master Suzuki casts teenage heart-throb Koji Wada as young misfit who suddenly finds himself the unwitting pawn in an escalating family feud that ultimately leads to tragedy.

This is the DVD premiere of Suzuki`s first colour feature. Lean, mean and stylish as always, this tale of youth-gone-wild is both vibrant and touching. Suzuki contrasts tranquil glimpses of traditional regional life with the emergence of the new rock `n` roll youth culture and the greed and seething cynicism of encroaching Westernisation.

Also released under the title Go To Hell, Hoodlums!, this is a melodrama as colourful, shocking and exhilarating as one would come to expect from Japan`s master filmmaker
