- Synopsis:
Following a decade of economic doldrums and a series of freak crimes, Japan during the early '00's saw a number of bitter, self-lacerating films such as 'Battle Royale' and 'Harmful Insects' that seems to attack society at its very core. As another entry into this growing genre, 'Blue Spring' creates a brutally Hobbesian vision of high school - each student against all in a bruising battle for social dominance. In their graduation year, the disaffected students turn their concrete box of a school into a backdrop against which to create their own version of society. The newly elected boss Kujo (Ryuhei Matsuda) disdains all the rules, including those that have led to his election. Into this power vacuum, his scandalized friend and lieutenant Aoki (Hirofumi Aral) enters with vicious intent. As graduation looms, the pupils study violence and death. - Actors:
