A high-schooler takes on the mob in SAILOR SUIT AND MACHINE GUN, a one-of-a-kind genre-bender that throws the yakuza film and coming-of-age dramas in a blender. Hoshi Izumi is forced to grow up quickly when her father dies and she finds herself next in line as the boss of a yakuza clan. Wrenched from the security of her classroom and thrust into the heart of the criminal underworld, Hoshi must come to terms with the fact that her actions hold the key to the life or death of the men under her command. This landmark work from the early career of Shinji Somai was responsible for launching teen talent Hiroko Yakushimaru as the iconic face of a generation, with the catchy theme song she performs indelibly etched into the zeitgeist of early-1980s Japan.
