synopsis
Previously adapted for the screen in 1953 by actor/director So Yamamura, author Takiji Kobayashi's classic 1929 novel gets a new lease on screen life in this manga-styled film from prolific actor/writer/director Sabu. When the young and downtrodden workers on a crab canning ship stage a daring revolt, their bold attempt in casting aside the shackles of conformity yields unanticipated results.
