The August without Emperor / Kôtei no inai hachigatsu (1978)
Drama | Thriller
Satsuo Yamamoto may not be the most popular japanese director, yet he’s one of those who actually committed his career to making films with social & political ideas. Always trying to point out some of the taboos of Japanese Society, presenting ideas and inviting the audience to think about it. Here, August without Emperor seems to be about a train hijacking involving the military & a coup d'etat (to be confirmed). This looks massive, and representative of a "cinema of ideas".
