Two brothers compete for the amorous favors of a young woman during a seaside summer of gambling, boating, and drinking in this seminal "sun tribe" (taiyozoku) film from director Ko Nakahira. Adapted from the controversial novel by Shintaro Ishihara - and critically savaged for its lurid portrayal of the postwar sexual revolution among Japan's young and privileged - Crazed Fruit is an anarchic outcry against tradition and the older generation.
