Country: Japan
Directed by Kazuo Hara
Rarely someone has the chance to watch a documentary like this , that just depicts the raw reality and left you without the feeling that everything is ,in some way, staged. The director here did a great job, letting the picture speak for itself , without to intervene mush, without to lose the sense of reality in favor of style. In the film a very dark page of the Japanese military history is exposed to the fullest. Forty years after the second world war, we sense that the society still has a guilty conscience over atrocities that committed during that era. Moreover, this intense and powerful cinema verite exposes, with a slightly ironic way ,the contradictions of the Japanese culture and society where various codes , values and typical attitudes are messed up with a way that often look like forms , empty or real meaning and honesty
