Katsuya
Matsumura meticulously wrote and directed this shocking film based on
the "Concrete-encased high school girl murder case" that
took place in Japan (November 1988 to January 1989). A 17 year old female
high school student, Junko Furuto, was abducted and confined to an attic
room for 40 days by four male juveniles in the Ayase district of Adachi-ku,
Tokyo. She was repeatedly raped, sexually humiliated and tortured before
finally dying after a severe beating. The boys hid her corpse in a waste-drum
and filled it with cement. Her body was discovered a month later.
Before
embarking on his ALL NIGHT LONG series, Katsuya Matsumura was a respected,
award-winning documentary filmmaker. After graduating from college in
1985, he delivered a movie on pollution in Japan's Doroku area which won
the grand prize at the Mainichi Film Festival in 1988. That project financed
ALL
NIGHT LONG (1992), a movie for which he won Best Director at the
prestigious Yokohama Film Festival. In late '94, he began researching
and shooting CONCETE-ENCASED HIGH SCHOOL GIRL MURDER CASE
and while working on that film he also put together a fictionalize account
of the 'cement barrel murder' released later in '95 as ALL
NIGHT LONG 2: ATROCITY. The ALL NIGHT LONG series continued into
2009 (see ALL
NIGHT LONG 3,ALL NIGHT LONG 4: INITIAL O, ALL
NIGHT LONG 5 [R]and ALL
NIGHT LONG 6: ANYONE AT RANDOM).
