A 1960's Japanese film that relies on boner jokes. It started out strong and inappropriately funny, but once the action sequences set in, it just became repetitive. You could skip twenty minutes of this film and not feel like you'd missed a thing.

As the third part of the ongoing Seijun Suzuki collection on DVD, Fighting Elegy is the crown jewel in this diverse auteurs? back catalogue. Set in the late Thirties, the story follows high school drop out Kiroku Nanbu struggling to come to terms with his own adolescence conflicting with society & his pubescent self. Elegy is a work of art, each shot is beautifully crafted; exposing the underbelly of the boy and relishing each awkward moment with a dark edged delight. Though essentially the themes of society, religion and Nanbu?s journey from innocence toward macho fascist are not typical fair for humour; the screenplay by Onibaba director Kaneto Shindo allows Suzuki to handle the reality with satirical aplomb. Fighting Elegy is perfect classic narrative cinema, with enough artistic flair to remain timeless. It is filled with moments that should be watched, cherished, rewound and watched again.

A coming of age story that has some inspired moments depsite the fact that it never quite comes together, especially at its puzzling end.

The Japanese Dr. Strangelove, although with a more thoughtful ending. Suzuki preaches the superiority of humanism and relationships over lesser ideals, like religion and nationalism. And the main character plays the piano with his dick.

Suzuki seems to be ceaselessly brilliant. The scene where Kiroku is yelling Michiko's name outside her house and taking back the words, syllable by syllable. The scene in the classroom cutting back and forth between the rowdy boys and Kiroku and the professor. The scene at the end where Michiko's fingers break through the door pane and grab Kiroku's hand before she runs off. These are three scenes that will forever be burned into my mind every time I think about what great filmmaking is. How a director can take a seemingly simple story and make it into something utterly transcendent and, at the same time, still show a sense of humor. Goddamnit.
