A definitive work of the Rikkyo New Wave, EUREKA is Aoyama's sprawling masterpiece shot in his native Kitakyushu. It's worth taking a look at the late filmmaker's Nouvelle Vague Manifesto:

"Sōmai was Japan’s next master of the long take, after Mizoguchi Kenji, but since he worked a lot in youth film, a neglected genre, his work was not picked up by the arbiters of taste introducing Japanese film abroad in the 1980s."—Aaron Gerow (@Dengerow).

“Schoolgirls would gather at the filming locations calling out for Raizo, but since he wasn’t wearing any makeup for this role, they didn’t recognize him and simply walked past. So I found myself acting as a go-between, saying, ‘Rai-sama is right here!’”—Tatsuya Nakadai (2/2)

“At that time, the lead actor Raizo Ichikawa was affectionately nicknamed “Rai-sama” and had many female fans. In CONFLAGRATION, however, he played a young, introverted man burdened with a stutter—quite different from his usual roles as a dashing swordsman." (1/2)
