Our Days

"Both you and I have finally come to the day of independence."

This provocative work by director Ike stands as a highly controversial piece. It boldly tackles themes rarely addressed directly in Film Research Club productions, such as imperial war responsibility, political ideology, and revolution. At the time of production, rumors spread within the university that the Film Research Club was engaged in “dangerous activities” (i.e., leftist activism), nearly resulting in the club’s permanent suspension. The narrative shifts dramatically from a fantasy-like beginning to a heavily message-driven second half, deliberately disorienting the viewer. Far from being a lightweight student film, it is an anarchic work filled with a striking and unsettling energy.

Early morning silence is broken by screeching tires as a helicopter bears down on a speeding vehicle. Taking a quick corner, the team tumbles out into the woods as their car pulls away. Now they must make their way through the thick of nature and thick gunfire to accomplish their mission. Not a single word of dialogue is spoken throughout the entire film. Instead, the music, sounds, images and deeply truthful acting turn a simple plot into an intense experience. Passion and intrigue keep building to the very end.
