Crazed Fruit
Drama, by Ko Nakahira, Japan, 1959.
The sweet life of the rich young Japanese of the Sun Tribe subculture which was inspired by the western lifestyle in the late 1950s, between lust and violence, water skiing and speedboats. A story of love, passion and betrayal. Two brothers fall in love with the same girl, but she hides her real life. The morbid passion for the girl becomes unmanageable and the conflict between the two brothers more and more dramatic. Almost unknown masterpiece in the West, it caused a scandal at the time of its release. It is the film that paves the way and inspires the Japanese New Wave. Director Ko Nakahira couldn't stand Nikkatsu's industrial production model and began abusing alcohol. Eventually, he had to expatriate China and use a pseudonym to make his later films.
Food for thought
Whenever you feel sexual attraction towards someone, jealousy can arise because you are not in love. If you are truly in love, jealousy never appears. You are afraid because sex is not actually a real relationship, you are afraid that the other person may go to someone else. This fear becomes jealousy. If there is a genuine relationship it is impossible to find that wealth somewhere else.
