这又是一部针对当时国家政治局势赶拍上映的影片，利用松竹公司的资金优势，将学生反对日美安全保障条约的游行、示威及内部争论过程搬上银幕。大岛渚还是不能忘记自己学生时代的历史教训，并利用这种经验，着重寻找指出学生运动的意义和失败的原因。同时，形势的紧迫和影片的特殊性，使得大岛渚在影片中采用了不同寻常的拍摄手法。在1961年《电影旬报》的一篇名为《镜头是什么》的文章中，大岛渚说：“我的最新作品《日本的夜与雾》只有43个镜头。这就是原则上所说的一个场景一个镜头。”这种尊重现实时间空间的手法在当时的日本影坛还是极为少见的，但对于营造纪实效果、对学运进行全景而真实的观察，却是极有成效的。影片只上映了四天，就发生了右翼少年刺杀日本社会党委员长的政治事件。松竹公司迫于政治和经济（影片票房不如人意）压力，将影片停映。停映几个月以后，大岛渚与一批松竹同事集体退出公司，自组创造社。

A brief trip back home turns into a longer stay when Eric finds himself caught between catching up with his two sisters and conquering his old poker group. The more Eric extends his visit to prove that he is still the best poker player in town, the harder it becomes to steer clear of the old fault lines in his relationship with his sister Rachel. As their little sister Maggie attempts to recreate the intimate world they once shared, Eric and Rachel are faced with the divide between their childhood selves and the adults they have now become.Displaying all the sensitivity and wicked humour of his previous works, Dustin Guy Defa’s new film is a shrewd study of the pitiless condition known as adulthood. After growing up in a family unit that constitutes your whole world, with its particular set of habits and a shared language, crossing the border into the realm of adults can feel disempowering, even terrifying. A sense of loss may be difficult to ever really overcome. The film’s meticulous structure and novelistic depth lay bare this fundamental fear, but also the resources that exist to fight it. Setting about this treasure hunt deep within as individuals and as a family is an admirable trio of actors whose interpretation is as nuanced as it is poignant.
