Wednesday, 28th October 2009, in ETG34, at 2pm.

Synopsis: Controversial and confrontational, ‘Shinjuku Incident’ marks a major step away from the Kung-Fu comedy films that are synonymous with international superstar Jackie Chan. Focusing on the Chinese migrant communities that lived illegally in Tokyo and on their often criminal and shadowy lives, the fact that the Japanese would neither acknowledge nor welcome them lies at the centre of this often brutal film. A rare insight into the antagonism and ill feeling between the Japanese and Chinese, banned from release in China, ‘Shinjuku Incident’ is an unsettling but eye-opening experience
