Tamio Kawaji in The Warped Ones (Koreyoshi Kurahara, 1960) Cast: Tamio Kawaji, Yuko Chiyo, Eiji Go, Hiroyuki Nagato, Noriko Matsumoto, Kojiro Kusanagi, Chico Roland, Chigusa Takayama, Reiko Arai, Yoko Kosono. Screenplay: Nobuo Yamada. Cinematography: Yoshio Mamiya. Production design: Kazuhiko Chiba. Film editing: Akira Suzuki. Music: Toshiro Mayuzumi.  The Warped Ones ends with its bad-boy protagonist, Akira (Tamio Kawaji), and his prostitute friend, Fumiko (Noriko Matsumoto), laughing it up at an abortion clinic, amused that they are there with the virtuous Kashiwagi (Hiroyuko Nagato) and Yuki (Yuko Chiyo) because the former has impregnated Fumiko and the latter is pregnant with Akira's child. The Warped Ones belongs to a genre known as taiyozoku, or "Sun Tribe" films, portrayals of the undisciplined youth of postwar Japan. Among them are movies like Ko Nakahira's Crazed Fruit (1956) and three released the same year as The Warped Ones, Nagisa Oshima's Cruel Story of Youth and The Sun's Burial, and Masahiro Shinoda's Youth in Fury. But even hard-edged directors like Oshima and Shinoda couldn't resist putting a moral spin on their portraits of wayward youth. Kurahara could, and The Warped Ones is all the more fascinating for its willingness to see the world the way Akira sees it. Kawaji gives an amazing over-the-top performance in the role, never quite standing still for a moment. He doesn't walk, he dances, prances, skips, and contorts, and Yoshio Mamiya's camera swirls and jogs along with him, ever restless, ever kinetic. Even in closeups his face is constantly in motion, often with a cigarette stuck between his lip and teeth or in the corner of his mouth. He is the embodiment of a certain kind of existential freedom, so self-centered that he refuses, unlike his friend, Masaru (Eiji Go), to join a gang that might multiply his opportunities for mayhem. The only thing on Earth to which he pays obeisance is jazz, provided by Toshiro Mayuzumi's score. But even without punishing Akira for his considerable crimes, the film manages to make the point that he's no role model. Instead, he's an object lesson in the impossibility of achieving pure freedom.
