日本电视剧风暴时代

前身是皇軍軍港的吳港，戰後成為船塢工人的生活煉獄。在資本家剝削和枯燥生活的雙重煎熬下，躁動的年輕生命，一頭栽進暴力漩渦，延擱成長，終日在打鬥、賭博、酗酒中尋找暫時的麻醉。吉田喜重通過工頭之眼，對不合理的社會現實作出欲迎還拒的批判，被視為日本新浪潮代表作之一。香山美子飾演純真的酒館女待，同情工人卻慘被強姦，正與負的能量，在大時代中比拼互滲，可有超越對與錯，是與非的位置？片末火車站送別一場，在家和社會之間，吉田喜重作出了左翼的選擇。　　One of the key films ushering in the Shochiku New Wave era, this raw tale of migrant laborers at a post-war naval base simmers with youthful outrage. Responsible shipyard worker Shimazaki (Hayakawa) is put in charge of new recruits from Osaka. The immature gang quickly finds trouble drinking, gambling, and fighting, and eventually trespassing against what Shimazaki holds most dear - local bargirl Nobu. Revenge, honor, and loyalty are all called into question. Yoshida's groundbreaking film portrayed real social issues in an unromantic light, and paved the way for all the cinematic roughs to come.　　- SummerIFF 2007
