Synopsis

High schooler Nanbu Kiroku yearns for the prim, Catholic Michiko, but her only desire is to reform Kiroku's sinful tendencies. Hormones raging, Kiroku channels his unsatisfied lust into the only outlet available: savage crazed violence. Fighting Elegy is a unique piece in the diverse career of Seijun Suzuki, combining the director's signature bravura visual style with a focused satire of machismo and facism.
