ナンバーテンブルース さらばサイゴン
Number 10 Blues / Goodbye Saigon
Nippon Cinema ª
Sugimoto, a Japanese business man working in Vietnam, accidently killed a Vietnamese. Together with his lover Lanh and Taro, who is the son of a Japanese ex-soldier and a vietnamese woman, he flees towards the north to escape to Japan. This idiosyncratic road movie is a real action film, not an anti-war film. It questions not just one’s surreal existence during war time, but also national identity and nationality.
