A Town of Love and Hope

Nagisa Oshima’s first feature film, A STREET OF LOVE AND HOPE paints a biting portrait of poverty and class difference through the life of a young boy who sells pigeons on the street. The radical and unflinching politics that would become Oshima’s hallmark are here on display in his earliest work.

Starring Fumio Watanabe, Yuki Tominaga, Kakuko Chino
