高度経済成長期の日本を背景に、貧しい一家が開拓村へ移り住むため長崎から遙か北海道へ向かう長い旅の道のりを描いた異色ロードムービー。船や電車を乗り継いで行くその道中で、様々なトラブルや不幸に見舞われながらも家族の絆を拠り所に力強く生きていく姿が胸に響く感動作。監督は「男はつらいよ」シリーズの山田洋次。長崎の伊王島。貧しいこの島に生まれた民子と精一が結婚して10年の歳月が流れていた。小さな島で家族5人を養っていくことに限界を感じた精一は、自分の会社が潰れたのを機に、友人が勧めてくれた北海道の開拓村への移住を決心するのだった。
If You Were Young: Rage highlights the other side of post-war Japanese prosperity, focusing on the throngs of young people who missed out on the boom. We follow a group of young men that can't seem to get ahead, despite their willingness to try. Then one hits upon a plane - to work together to save for a dump truck and thus become independent contractors and be their own bosses at last. Ultimately life presents obstacles: jail for one, violence at the hands of the police for another and a girlfriend and subsequent children for the third. An early Kinji Fukasaku gem that imports the freewheeling style of the French New Wave and the hip detachment of American noir.
