豆知識

The Gate of Youth is a 1981 Japanese drama film co-directed by Kinji Fukasaku and Koreyoshi Kurahara. A Kurahara-directed sequel titled Seishun no mon: Jiritsu hen was released in 1982.

Production

The Gate of Youth is based on a serialized story by Hiroyuki Itsuki. It was originally adapted by Kirio Urayama for Toho in 1975. Urayama’s version was a box office success and spawned a 1977 sequel. However, there were major creative differences between author Itsuki and director Urayama, which prevented production on the third installment.

The project initially struggled to get off the ground, due to the recency of the previous adaptation. Production was eventually scheduled to begin in late 1980, with a release date set for January 15, 1981, as Toei had an open slot to fill in that month. By that time, Takakura had already been booked to star in Yasuo Furuhata's Station.

Co-producer Gorô Kusakabe asked Tatsuo Nogami to write the script. Though Nogami had a busy schedule due to his work on Hissatsu, he agreed to Kusakabe's offer and hurriedly wrote the screenplay. Nogami recommended Koreyoshi Kurahara, with whom he had worked on the Hissatsu series, as director. Kurahara accepted, as he had a gap in his schedule due to a previous project falling through.

Due to the scope of the project and Toei's insistence on hitting the pre-set release date, Kurahara suggested a two-man system for directing, as Kurahara did not believe that he alone could complete the work in time. He suggested Kinji Fukasaku, whose previous film Virus had been a large flop, and whose in-development project The Miracle of Joe Petrel had recently fallen apart, for the co-director slot. Fukasaku accepted.

The central role of Shinsuke Ibuki went to Kōichi Satō in his feature film debut. Many actresses screen-tested for the roles of Orie and Tae. Kaoru Sugita, at the time 16 years of age, would secure the role of Orie, also her feature film debut. However, Itsuki specifically requested Keiko Matsuzaka for the role of Tae.
