Yoichi SAI

刑務所の中

Nippon Cinema   ª 

A fascinating prison film that develops it's own form of drama, far off from riots, breakouts or sadistic guards. Yoichi SAI lets the everydayness of prison and its total regulation unite with a subtle, ever-present humor. Follows the autobiographical manga by Kazuichi HANAWA.
