Kuroi taiyô: Directed by Koreyoshi Kurahara. With Tamio Kawaji, Chico Lourant, Yuko Chishiro, Hideji Ôtaki. One is a young, jazz-obsessed Japanese drifter and other is a black American GI on the lam in Tokyo. The two outsiders become outlaws and the movie depicts their growing bond as an alternately absurd and tragic culture clash.
“Lots of shouting, bad dialogue, illogical actions (eg wading in sewage with open wound, etc…) … that ending was out of an old Twilight Zone episode.”
