[KineJapan] Ryoki in Ozu's film

[Kukhee Choo]

Hi all,


I have a question about how the term "ryoki" is adopted in Ozu's film Where now are the dreams of youth? (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."


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?


Thank you!


K Choo
