Genshi Ryoku Senso Lost Love

[Machine Translation] A black shadow looms over a man chasing after his missing lover. A trap or a cover-up? A shocking suspense film starring the famous actor Yoshio Harada! --A man and a woman are found dead on the beach of a port town in Tohoku. A young yakuza from Tokyo arrives to bring back a woman who had returned to the countryside for a Buddhist memorial service and has not returned. While searching for her whereabouts, the young yakuza seeks to discover the cause of death of the woman who was not supposed to die, but a huge black trap is laid out before them... This is a profound social suspense film adaptation of Soichiro Tahara's shocking documentary novel "Nuclear War", directed by Kazuo Kuroki with Yoshio Harada in the lead role, following "Ryoma Assassination" ('74). Against the backdrop of the energy crisis, which had been a matter of concern for the future of all mankind at the time, this ambitious film tackles head-on the issue that had been the subject of heated debate. Yoshio Harada, a famous rebel actor, passionately plays a young yakuza who unwittingly gets caught up in the darkness of invisible power, and the director Kuroki, who has worked with Harada on many films, explodes Harada's burly personality. The film also marks the first starring role for internationally acclaimed fashion model Sayoko Yamaguchi.
