Contemporary Japanese Auteurs: I Just Didn't Do It (15) S

This sobering, angry film is based on the real life phenomenon of men groping women on Japan's notoriously packed commuter trains. It centres on Teppei, a young man on his way to a job interview he finds himself falsely accused of groping a fifteen year old girl. He is arrested and encouraged to confess, and quickly, whether he's guilty or not. With a courtroom that values a high conviction rate (99.9%) above the truth, proving his innocence is going to be a tough fight indeed. A devasting critique of Japan's legal system that leaves a bitter taste.

Fee: £7.20 full / £5.60 concessions.
