Synopsis
Nagisa Oshima's first feature film, A TOWN OF LOVE AND HOPE paints a biting portrait of poverty and class difference through the life of a young boy who sells pigeons on the street. The radical and unflinching politics that would become Oshima's hallmark are here on display in his earliest work.
