1984 Japanese musical drama film
Shanghai Rhapsody (上海バンスキング, Shanhai bansukingu) is a 1984 Japanese musical drama film directed by Kinji Fukasaku, adapted from the 1979 musical of the same name.[1]
Plot
Promising to take his wife Madoka Masaoka on a cruise to France in 1939, Shirō Hatano tricks her into stopping over in Shanghai, where he has plans to get involved in the local jazz scene as a clarinet player together with his friend Wataru Matsumoto, a trumpet player. Matsumoto has become involved with Lily, the former girlfriend of the club owner Larry, who forces Matsumoto, Shirō, Madoka, and Lily to work performing jazz shows at his St. Louis club in exchange for giving up Lily. When Japan invades China, life becomes more complicated and it is no longer possible for Shirō to get work as a jazz performer. Matsumoto is drafted into the military and Shirō turns to alcohol, even selling his clarinet for a bottle of alcohol. Shirō is then persuaded by Hirota, a member of the Japanese Special Service Organization, to begin using opium. Shirō becomes addicted and completely dependent upon the aid of Madoka.
