Synopsis:
Scars of the Sun (1981)
太陽のきずあと
Chusei Sone’s 1981 film Scars of the Sun departs from the director’s previous works in the field of Roman Porno, with this Toei youth-drama starring Kenichi Kaneda. Kenichi plays Shuhei, a member of a rough-and-tumble gang whose customs are broken apart when Kenichi is reunited with his estranged brother whose girlfriend’s entry into the group starts to cause friction between its members and the traditions they follow.
Blow the Night (1983)
夜をぶっとばせ
The first film from Chusei Sone’s production company “Filmworkers” is a hard-hitting Docu-drama based on the stories of Namie Takada: a 15 year old thinner-sniffing, girl-gang member.
Namie stars in the film as herself to tell a brutal tale of wild youth in early 80s Japanese society.
