July 13 | Tom’s Movie Night: Robinson’s Garden

Robinson’s Garden (1987) directed by Masashi Yamamoto
“Following his gonzo hachimiri (8mm) debut SAINT TERRORISM (1980) and the memorable CARNIVAL IN THE NIGHT (1981), Masashi Yamamoto offers his defining punk statement. Winner of a Special Mention at the 1987 Locarno International Film Festival, ROBINSON’S GARDEN is a rare, radical vision of a marginal, multicultural Tokyo.”
