this film is pretty great. i got it on video from a catalogue in the 90s (heard of it because one of the stars was in kurosawa's "ran").

if you like this, you would probably like shuuji terayama (of emperor tomato ketchup fame), those his work isn't the easiest to get in the USA outside of an academic context.

more available is nagisa oshima, a lot of whose work is on the excellent streaming service filmstruck, but it's a bit headier than bara no soretsu.
