Summary

In the 1960s, Japanese filmmakers responded to a stale studio system by looking for new ways to tell stories. Shohei Imamura was one of the leading figures of this new wave with the three films in the set of Pigs, Pimps & Prositutes. Pigs and Battleships (1962) is one of the films in the set. A dazzling, unruly protrait of postwar Japan, Pigs and Battleships details, with escalating absurdity, the desperate power struggles between small-time gangsters in the port town of Yokosuka
