Blood Thirsty
Blood Thirsty
Fifteen years after the Second World War, Yoshida was back on the scene with yet another hefty slingshot of caustic criticism.
Anti-American
Blood Thirsty rallied against the (re)modernised Japanese corporate set up, where the American-introduced principle of profit maximisation was the be all and end all.
Unlikely celebrity
In the film, the attempted suicide of a dispirited employee at an insurance firm is transformed into a hard-hitting, ironic advertising campaign, elevating the unhappy employee to stardom.
The scenario is an adaptation of one of Yoshida's own stories that brutally attacked the cynicism of the mass media.
