The Last Days of the World
A return to the trippy, socially-engaged, blackly comic, ridiculously violent revolutionary movies of Japan’s 60’s. A high school student has a vision that the world is ending and so, faced with no consequences, he abducts a fellow student and goes on a crime spree. Based on Naoki Yamamoto’s cult manga, Eiji Uchida’s Last Days of the World is a teenage nihilist’s pop-psychological mixtape spilled onto celluloid in the dirtiest, dreamiest way possible.
