Shanghai bansu-kingu (1988)
Directed by Kazuyoshi Kushida
Music, Comedy, Drama · 2h 12m
Set in Shanghai during the turbulent years leading up to and through World War II, the film follows a group of Japanese jazz musicians and performers struggling to hold onto music, love, and friendship amid political unrest and war. As censorship, nationalism, and conflict reshape the city, their once-vibrant nightlife gradually gives way to disillusionment, separation, and loss.
