United Red Army (2008)
Harvard Film Archive

One of the most radical filmmakers in Japan, if not the world, Koji Wakamatsu has gotten a lot of
attention for his magnum (190 minutes' worth) opus, United Red Army (2008), a fictional account of the infamous
late-'60s/early-'70s Japanese terrorist group, its early ideals, and its
self-destructive demise. Some of that attention has been unwelcome - the US
State Department has Wakamatsu on its black list, so he won't be able to attend
this Harvard Film Archive screening at 24 Quincy St, Cambridge | 7 pm | $9 |
