The Japanese TRAINSPOTTING

director: Isoa Yukisada
starring: Yosuke Kubozuka · Kou Shibasaki · Shinibu Otake

···

The comparisons to Danny Boyle's TRAINSPOTTING are unavoidable. The movies are very similar in tone and concept. From the opening scenes where Yosuke gets a severe beating on the basketball court (a memorable and excruciating segment), GO jump starts in a a spirited frenzy of raw energy dealing with the delights and dangers of being young.
