Night and Fog in Japan (1960)

In 1960, uninvited guests interrupt the wedding ceremony between Nozawa, a journalist and former student radical of the 1950's, and Reiko, a current activist. They accuse the couple and assembled guests of forgetting their political commitments, invoking a tortured exploration of unresolved conflicts of a decade ago, when they were swept up in the student demonstrations against the AMPO treaty. In flashbacks, personal and political wounds are reopened, focused on Nozawa's subjective experiences in both 1950 and 1960…

Automne 1960. On célèbre le mariage de deux jeunes étudiants appartenant chacun à un mouvement politique différent. Pour le professeur Udagawa, qui fait le discours d'ouverture de la rentrée, c’est le symbole de la réconciliation de deux générations. Les invités étudiants et militants commentent ce point de vue, les générations et les avis se confrontent avec une hargne grandissante.
