Black Sun

Black Sun

Directed by Koreyoshi Kurahara • 1964 • Japan

You've probably never seen anything quite like this manic, oddball, anti-buddy picture about a young, jazz-obsessed Japanese drifter and a Black American GI on the lam in Tokyo. The two outsiders become outlaws, and Koreyoshi Kurahara depicts their growing bond as an alternately absurd and tragic culture clash. The film features original music by American jazz drummer Max Roach.
