EROS + MASSACRE film still

The most celebrated work by recently deceased Japanese New Wave director Yoshishige Yoshida is a rarely shown landmark of world cinema. Stylishly shot in ‘scope and boasting great visual beauty, Yoshida’s monumental magnum opus tells two parallel stories. One follows the life and loves of 1920s Japanese anarchist and free love advocate Sakae Ōsugi; the other focuses on two 1960s students inspired by Ōsugi’s radical ideas. Director’s cut. Subtitles. DCP. 220 min.

Special admission $13; members, CIA & CSU I.D. holders, and those age 25 & under $10. No passes.

Masks are currently optional for moviegoers, but still encouraged. Learn more under the “Face Coverings” section at cia.edu/covid.

As a reminder, filmgoers can park for free in Lot 73 and in the Institute's annex lot, and should enter CIA via nearby Entrance C. Click here for a map.
