Wonderful Italian Poster by Japanese New Wave director Shohei
Imamura. Shohei's films are among the more visceral and naturalistic that you will see, and Hogs and Warships may be the most literally so. It unhesitatingly depicts the grotesque underbelly of modern society, in this case of a coastal town occupied by the U.S. following the end of the second world war. The film is concerned with pigs and battleships of course, but more intimately concerned with the lives and values of those who make it possible for the two to have a relationship with one another. From the title one can guess that the film deals with consumption and violence in an absurdist fashion.
