YesAsia Editorial Description

Sabu's first feature since 2005's Dead Run, Kanikosen (a.k.a. The Crab Cannery Ship) is based on Kobayashi Takiji's famed 1929 proletarian tome about a group of sea laborers rebelling against their fascist boss. The classic novel saw a huge surge in sales and popularity in Japan in 2008, prompting this 2009 silver-screen adaptation. Kanikosen was previously adapted in 1953 by Yamamura So but Sabu - being Sabu - brings a completely new edge to the rousing underdog tale of leftist heroism. The revolution plays out on theater-inspired location sets in a flurry of contemporary and Marxist language, with the brutality and misery balanced by the fast, sly humor and zany sequence of events that Sabu's films are known for.

Matsuda Ryuhei (Nightmare Detective) plays Shinji, one of many workers wretchedly toiling their almost comically Dickensian lives away on a crab cannery ship during Imperialist Japan. Abuse is reaped upon them day in and day out by their brutal supervisor Arakawa (Nishijima Hidetoshi, Vacation) who would gladly work his men to death to increase output. Shinji jumps ship and gets rescued by a Russian ship where he discovers a proletarian paradise. Shinji returns to his ship to lead the masses in revolt against Arakawa.

Comes with making of, previews, interviews, premiere, and poster gallery.

あきらめるには、まだ早すぎるっ！／船上で蟹の缶詰を加工する蟹工船。そこでは出稼ぎ労働者たちが劣悪な環境におかれ、安い賃金で酷使されていた。鬼監督・浅川（西島秀俊）は労働者を人間扱いせず、非道のかぎりを尽くしたが、労働者たちは過酷な労働に疲弊し、絶望の中、ただ言われるがままに働いた。しかし、労働者の一人・新庄（松田龍平）がそんな環境に慣れてしまった労働者たちに「自分が変わらなければ何も変わらない！」と提起し、労働者をまとめ支配者・浅川監督に立ち向かった！
支配する者と支配される者　果てなき欲望と絶望の激突！！
