Bad Boys (不良少年 Furyō shōnen) is a Japanese film directed by Susumu Hani in 1961 about juvenile delinquents. Since Hani had a background in documentary, he shot Bad Boys, his first feature-length fiction film, in a documentary style, using "nonprofessional actors, black and white, hand-held cinematography, and location shooting."[1] It was voted the best film of 1961 in the poll of film critics by Kinema Junpo[2] and has been considered one of the films to launch the Japanese New Wave.[3] Hani was given the Directors Guild of Japan New Directors Award for directing the film,[4] and Toru Takemitsu was given the Mainichi Film Award for best film score for his work on Bad Boys and Mozu.[5]
