Black Sun is a 1964 film directed by Koreyoshi Kurahara that portrays the relationship between a jazz-obsessed misfit living in the bombed ruins of a church and an AWOL African-American soldier. One of the leading figures of the Japanese New Wave of the 1960s, Kurahara is known for his frenetic, free-form approach to filmmaking and a series of films, particularly The Warped Ones (1960) that voice the anger and anxieties of a generation growing up in postwar Japan.

Black Sun is 1 hour 21 minutes long and is screened with permission from Janus Films, New York.
