<p>Hi all,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I have a question about how the term "ryoki" is adopted in Ozu's film <i>Where now are the dreams of youth?
</i>(Seishun no yume ima izuko, 1932). There's a scene where the male protagonist Tetsuo tries to repulse a Moga female who's interested in him, but instead of getting turned off, she becomes more attracted to him and says "ryokiteki de iiwa." </p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Considering that the literal term of ryoki means grotesque bizarre acts of violence, but with Miriam Silverberg's Ero Guro Nansensu in mind, I was wondering whether there are any other film examples where the term ryoki is
utilized in such a manner?</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Thank you!</span></p>
