Description:
In their graduation year, the disaffected students turn their concrete box of a school into a backdrop against which to create their own version of society. The newly elected boss Kujo (played with cool panache by rising star Ryuhei Matsuda) disdains all the rules, including those that have led to his election. Into this power vacuum, his scandalized friend and lieutenant Aoki (Hirofumi Arai) enters with vicious intent. As graduation looms, the pupils study violence and death.

Although it is still rare, the newspapers and news programs are peppered with stories of bullies beating someone to death or the bullied killing ... Read More

This is a brilliant film. I saw it at he ICA a few years ago and have been waiting ever since to obtain a copy on DVD. I thought I was in luck when I saw it was soon to be released this year , only it is in the wrong format, I need it to play in the UK. PLEASE release for the UK SOON...I've been waiting long enough!

If you're serious about films, you need to see this one. It's guaranteed to please almost anyone (you'll know why after you've seen it) but believe me when I say that this movie is much more than it seems.
It works on many levels, and has obvious as well as underlying themes. Perhaps the most obvious is youth and violence, but be wary, the violence here is powerful, unpredictable, and could inspire hopelessness -- especially if you're accustomed to movies that send a solid right-or-wrong-and-repent ...
