This screening is part of the Kishu Yoshida season at Close-Up Cinema. You can find the full details here.
Village Voice review:
Heroic Purgatory is a world-beater of a film, a more condensed and intense dose of director Kishu Yoshida-ness, in which a student gaggle of would-be terrorists angst about their communal non-action, a strange runaway teen infiltrates the lives of a middle-class couple, and characters keep taking off wigs, revealing that they’re someone else. Every vertiginous shot is an idea, and Yoshida musters the dislocation living in an arthouse science fiction film, when in fact it’s just life at the end of the Sixties.

Here (and above) is the trailer.
