March 30, 2009 9:00pm → 'Japan: A Story Of Love And Hate' received it's UK broadcast première as part of the BBC4 'Hidden Japan' series on Monday 30th March at 9pm, and was repeated at 11:40pm on the same evening.
© Will Hodgkinson, The Guardian 28/03/09 - "Initially planning to make a documentary on Tokyo, Sean McAllister ended up going to the village of Yamagata to meet Naoki, a former bomb-throwing anarchist and successful entrepreneur until the economic crash of 1992 and now a postal worker. This charismatic rebel is used to illustrate the crushing obedience of Japanese culture and the myth of the perfection of the materialistic life. "This is a part of Japan," says Naoki, among the country's new poor with his girlfriend Yoshie, who words as an escort to married men. In being a portrait of couple as well as the impossible pressure of Japanese culture, McAllister's film is compelling."
