Book tickets
When a man crippled during the war remarries, he and his new bride each bring a child from their previous relationship. Unable to hold a normal job, the father forces his family to participate in fake hit-and-run incidents, to extort money from the unwitting drivers.
Based on a shocking true story and making brilliant use of its widescreen cinematography, Boy is one of Ōshima's most beautiful and restrained films.
