A perky high-schooler takes on the mob in Sailor Suit and Machine Gun, a one-of-a-kind genre-bender that riffs on the yakuza fiIm, coming-of-age drama and ‘idol movie’, inventively adapted from Jiro Akagawa's popuIar novel by director Shinji Somai (Typhoon CIub, Wait and See), a massiveIy infIuential figure in Japanese cinema whose work has been littIe seen outside his homeIand.
Hoshi Izumi is a young innocent forced to grow up quickly when her father dies and she finds herself next in line as the boss of a moribund yakuza clan. Wrenched from the security of her classroom and thrust into the heart of the criminaI underworld, she must come to terms with the fact that her actions hold the key to the life or death of the men under her command as they come under fire from rivaI gangs.
Presented in both its OriginaI Theatrical and longer CompIete versions, and the first time one of Somai's films has been reIeased on home video in the West, this landmark work from his early career was responsible for Iaunching teen taIent Hiroko Yakushimaru (Legend of the Eight Samurai; Detective Story) as the iconic face of a generation, with the catchy theme song she performs indelibly etched into the zeitgeist of early-1980s Japan. |
