Eros + Massacre
Directed by Yoshishige Yoshida
Produced by Gendai Eigasha
A densely layered, formally experimental meditation on anarchism, desire, and political philosophy across two eras, where personal relationships and revolutionary ideology become inseparable.
Two interwoven stories. The first is a biography of anarchist Sakae Osugi which follows his relationship with three women in the 1920s. The second centers around two 1960s students researching Osugi's theories.
