Typhoon Club
Shinji Sômai, 1995, Japan, 115 min
The Tide Has Turned: Two Films by Shinji Sōmai
Winner of the Grand Prix at the first Tokyo International Film Festival in 1985, Typhoon Club is widely regarded as the seminal film of director Shinji Somai’s career. A work of raw, elemental power, it follows an ensemble of junior high students in a provincial town, beset by a summer-y malaise as a typhoon looms in the air.
