Visionary director Nobuhiko Obayashi takes on the youth bike gang subgenre!
Introducing Third Window Films' Blu-ray release for 1986's His Motorbike, Her Island. Acclaimed director Nobuhiko Obayashi (Hausu) takes on the Bōsōzoku ("youth bike gang") genre with a poetic and bittersweet look at rebellious youth and young love.
After being threatened by his girlfriend’s brother, Ko (Riki Takeuchi) goes on a trip on his Kawasaki to contemplate his options. He meets Miiyo (Kiwako Harada) by chance, and the two stay in touch. He later receives an invitation to her island, where he begins to teach her how to ride, and quickly falls for her. Miiyo is an extremely quick study, and the two are a well-matched pair. However, her obsession with motorbikes seems to be leading her down a dangerous path.
