Typhoon Club (1985)

Poster for Typhoon Club

We're in the gym at midnight, we're in the eye of the typhoon!

Offering a caustic immersion into the lives of disaffected junior high students on the cusp of adulthood, the film takes place over the five-day period before, during, and after a ferocious, seemingly liberating typhoon, which six of the students endure while marooned in their school.
