Koji Wakamatsu (1 April1936, Wakuya-machi, Tôda-gun, Miyagi, Japan) is a Japanese film director. April 1 is the 91st day of the year (92nd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar, with 274 days remaining. ... 1936 (MCMXXXVI) was a leap year starting on Wednesday (link will take you to calendar). ... Miyagi is a place name in Japan. ...
KojiWakamatsu's 1969 underground film Go, Go Second Time Virgin (Yuke yuke nidome no shojo) tells the story of Poppo (Mimi Kozakura), a disadvantaged girl raped (for the second time in her young life) by a gang of street ruffians one August night in Tokyo.
Wakamatsu's film implies that, for his characters at least, sexuality is dark and dangerous—while Poppo spends most of the film in the nude, she and Tsukio never consummate their love physically.
KojiWakamatsu's films have rarely been seen in the US, and this is an eye-opening introduction to his darkly stylish cinematic world.
