520    "Seiichi Hayashi produced Red Colored Elegy between 1970 
       and 1971, in the aftermath of a politically turbulent and 
       culturally vibrant decade that promised but failed to 
       deliver new possibilities. With a combination of sparse 
       line work and visual codes borrowed from animation and 
       film, the quiet melancholy lives of a young couple 
       struggling to make ends meet are beautifully captured in 
       this poetic masterpiece. Uninvolved with the political 
       movements of the time, Ichiro and Sachiko hope for 
       something better, but they're no revolutionaries; their 
       spare time is spent drinking, smoking, daydreaming, and 
       sleeping--together and at times with others. While Ichiro 
       attempts to make a living from his comics, Sachiko's 
       parents are eager to arrange a marriage for her, but 
       Ichiro doesn't seem interested. Both in their relationship
       and at work, Ichiro and Sachiko are unable to say the 
       things they need to say, and like any couple, at times say
       things to each other that they do not mean, ultimately 
       communicating as much with their body language and what 
       remains unsaid as with words"
