我等ガ日々

This provocative work by director Ike stands as a highly controversial piece. It boldly tackles themes rarely addressed directly in Film Research Club productions, such as imperial war responsibility, political ideology, and revolution. At the time of production, rumors spread within the university that the Film Research Club was engaged in “dangerous activities” (i.e., leftist activism), nearly resulting in the club’s permanent suspension. The narrative shifts dramatically from a fantasy-like beginning to a heavily message-driven second half, deliberately disorienting the viewer. Far from being a lightweight student film, it is an anarchic work filled with a striking and unsettling energy.
