Amazing. I didn't think anything could be better than "Youth Of The Beast". I was wrong.

Ha! Piano action! Ha! Not Suzuki's best

this film had the makings of what could have been a great film, but it made a few vital errors. the main character had some major contradiction in his character, the telling of the story was unreasonably choppy, and the end of the film fell very flat. even with these major issues the film was very entertaining and had a strong likeable quality. the film missed out on a chance at an epic fight scene at the mid point that i wish suzuki would have followed through on, but all in all this is a good flick for casual viewing.

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.

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.
