"I think that Japan is sick," said Japanese director Masahiro Kobayashi at Cannes. "There is a tendency to try and take revenge, to attack the weakest." Kobayashi’s film Bashing depicts the social ostracism faced by a former hostage in Iraq upon her return to Japan. Kobayashi also had harsh words for the Japanese government of prime minister Junichiro Koizumi and for the "conservative Japanese media." Bashing is one of the 21 feature films competing at Cannes.
