Following Kazuya Shiraishi's excellent biopic “Dare to Stop Us”, which revolved around Koji Wakamatsu and his production company but essentially focused on Megumi Yoshizumi, a young aspiring director that joined the company in 1969, the sequel presents a somewhat similar story.
Hijacked Youth – Dare To Stop Us 2 is screening at Nippon Connection
This time, the setting is Nagoya in 1983, when Wakamatsu decided to open his own independent micro cinema, Cinema Skhole, and had Junji Kimata, a former programmer who was selling video equipment at the time, run it. The first part focuses on the relationship of the two and the struggles they faced in order to sustain the theater, which eventually led them to feature pinku films for the most part. The second and biggest part of the movie, though, focuses on the actual life of Junichi Inoue at the time, who dropped out of film school in order to become assistant director to Wakamatsu.
