The economic, romantic and familial travails of a young graduate in Kon Ichikawa's superbly witty social satire.
Ichikawa's brilliant social satire chronicles the travails of university graduate Moroi as he grapples with a tedious, undemanding job at Camel Beer, with three ex-girlfriends and with parents who accuse each other of going mad. The script's targets include urban overcrowding, the Japanese way of education, quack doctors and dentists... and troublesome weather. A gem from Ichikawa's most inventive period.
