EVERYTHING GOES WRONG (1960)
(すべてが狂ってる)
dir: Seijun Suzuki
1960
Everything Goes Wrong (すべてが狂ってる) (Japan, 1960) 3.5/5
directed by Seijun Suzuki
Jiro is unhappy with his mother dating a married man who gives her money. He feels it’s prostitution. He runs with a crowd that is sexually promiscuous and commits petty crimes to earn a living. One of the girls is in love with him, but because she’s been with others, he sees her as a prostitute as well.
How Jiro processes all of this will lead to trouble and eventually tragedy. This is sort of Seijun Suzuki’s ‘Rebel WITH a Cause’, sort of a Rock n Roll Sun Tribe movie (complete with a Japanese pop rock band).
All of the actors are really enjoyable to watch, especially Yoshiko Nezu, playing the girl who falls in love with Jiro (Tamio Kawachi) and her friend trying to get money for an abortion. Their characters ALL make BAD decisions in trying to do the RIGHT things.
“Today, goodwill between people can’t exist anywhere. Everything goes wrong.”
