His Motorbike, Her Island (1986) – Nobuhiko Obayashi.

The gifted, extraordinarily versatile director of the beloved Hausu turns his iconoclastic eye on the revved-up biker gang milieu with the inventive, charmingly Nouvelle Vague-esque His Motorbike, Her Island. Following a tumultuous break-up, handsome biker Ko (Riki Takeuchi) meets the beautiful, irrepressibly delightful Miiyo (Kiwako Harada) and this Kawasaki-crazed couple begin their heart-swellingly impactful love affair. His Motorbike, Her Island remains a beautifully made, palpably romantic drama, the film making, text, and expressly lovely performances are absolutely first rate, making it another essential addition to any avid Third Window Films collector.
