Harada's new film

[Mark H Nornes]

re: leftist imagery

I don't know about this film (but even if they sekigun don't have speaking
roles, the subject matter is the ultimate symbol of the new left's
failure, so you have to ask where he's positioning himself if it's only
on one side of the "front line"). However, I'm thinking of the almost
whimsical or perhaps clunky use of Soviet iconography and student movement
references in previous films.
