Another fantastic work from Japanese genius director Masahiro Shinoda. In The Petrified Forest (Kaseki no mori, 1973), director Masahiro Shinoda adapts a Shintaro Ishihara novel about youth angst and a complicated relationship between mother and son. Haruo works in a university hospital trying to work toward a degree in medicine, but is hindered by his hatred of department head Mr. Miyaji. Meanwhile, he decides to get a rival in love out of the way by poisoning him. As the angst-ridden Haruo deals with his problems in his own unique ways, his nagging mother holds out hope that her son will soon return home.
