## About

Violence at Noon is Oshima's first great masterpiece, introducing a new formal complexity into his cinema. It is a disturbing study of the criminal mind and a moving elegy to failed dreams.The film is based on the notorious nationwide killing spree of the "Daylight Demon," a brutal murderer who took the lives of more than thirty victims during the late 1950s, all women and all killed in broad daylight. In a twist, the film is as much about the two women who protect the violent man – his wife and a former victim – as it is about him.Filmography: Taboo (1999), Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (1983), In the Realm of the Senses (1976), The Ceremony (1971). This film is part of a special tribute titled "Between Mishima and Oshima"*Dear customers, when buying a multiple number of tickets you are advised to check our "Tickets and Sales" page for the most cost-effective options.Take notice: The multiple-entry ticket must be purchased before the individual movie tickets.
