Kô Nakahira - Aitsu to watashi AKA That Guy And I (1961)

Along with The Baby Carriage and A Slope in the Sun, He and I is one of a long list of youth films to be based on the novels of ISHISAKA Yojiro. A portrait of youth grappling with new forms of love and sexual ethics at the height of the ANPO struggle of 1960, the film was marketed as ISHIHARA Yujiro’s comeback picture after he injured himself in a skiing accident, and went on to break box office records in 1961.
