Three Resurrected Drunkards

A trio of bumbling young men, (played by the singing group the Folk Crusaders), frolic at the beach. While they swim, their military uniforms are stolen by a trio of undocumented Korean men who replace them with their clothes. Donning these, the Japanese men are mistaken for Koreans and end up on the run from comically outraged authorities. A cutting commentary on Japan’s treatment of its Korean immigrants, this is Nagisa Ôshima at both his most politically engaged and madcap.
