Hanako is sleeping in an upper bunk, and her bare calves have slipped off the bunk and are dangling. Her ''father'', Yosematsu, comes in, and stares at her calves. He makes an ineffectual effort to pull her slip down...he makes an ineffectual effort to do a ComfortingComforter and pull her blanket up...then he stares at her calves a little more. Then she kicks him in the face.

''The Sun's Burial'' is a 1960 film from Japan directed by Creator/NagisaOshima.
It is a story about the ragged underclass in Osaka. They live in dirty slums in ramshackle wooden shacks. Crime is rampant and law enforcement is nearly nonexistent. Takeshi is a naive youth who thinks it might be a good idea to join a gang. He soon changes his mind, but Shin, the leader of his gang, refuses to let him leave. Meanwhile, a young woman named Hanako bounces back and forth between the various gangs and petty criminals of the slums, playing them off against each other. She is a prostitute by night, but in the daytime runs another racket, where the hungry and desperate people of the slums sell their blood, which Hanako then sells to cosmetics companies for use in their products.
Enter the "Agitator", a deranged older man who totes around a hand grenade he says is from the war. The Agitator talks wild nonsense about how the Russians are about to invade and the Japanese must rise up and bring back the old Empire, but he's so self-assured that the desperate people of the slums start to listen to him. He cuts Hanako out of her blood racket, so she goes to Shin for support.
