Ecstasy of the Angels (天使の恍惚 Tenshi no kōkotsu?) is a later, more political, pink film directed by Koji Wakamatsu.
[edit] Plot summary
The movie focuses on the actions of a revolutionary movement. One faction, with a leader called October, brakes into a US weapons depot and takes cases of hand bombs. While escaping several soldiers are killed and October is blinded by the blast from a mishandled case of bombs. The movement's highest authority deems October unfit and sends Winter's February,leader of another faction, to take October's remaining bombs through any means necessary.
This causes October and his soldiers to undergo a shift in their approach. One by one, the members start to take matters into their own hands.
