GOOD FOR NOTHING (PG) by YOSHIDA Yoshishige - Japanese Film Festival Singapore 2010

Good for Nothing depicts a new moral amongst the youth, estranged from the previous generation that had brought about the post-war economic miracle. Bored middle-class youngsters start robbing just for fun, but end up in a deadly game of crime and betrayal. Based on Yoshida's own original script, this stylistically assured and striking debut also introduces distinct elements of Yoshida's style, such as a non-conventional mise-en-scene and fluid, expressive camera movement.
