If You Were Young: Rage (1970)
Original title: 君が若者なら
If You Were Young: Rage is a 1970 Japanese-language drama movie directed by Kinji Fukasaku, with a running time of 1h 29m. It stars Tetsuo Ishidate, Gin Maeda and Chōichirō Kawarasaki.
If You Were Young: Rage highlights the other side of post-war Japanese prosperity, focusing on the throngs of young people who missed out on the boom. We follow a group of young men that can't seem to get ahead, despite their willingness to try. Then one hits upon a plan - to work together to save for a dump truck and thus become independent contractors and be their own bosses at last. Ultimately life presents obstacles: jail for one, violence at the hands of the police for another, and a girlfriend and subsequent children for the third. An early Kinji Fukasaku gem that imports the freewheeling style of the French New Wave and the hip detachment of American noir.
