Country: Japan
Directed by Kon Ichikawa
One more great movie by Ichikawa that together with his 'Burmese harp' is a loud statement against the brutality of war. In this case the spiritual , lyrical element of the 'Burmese harp' is left out and we witness just the bare ugly and freakish face of the war where any atrocity, including canibalism, can occur and is not any space for illusions of glory. However, the link that connects the two films is the optimism of the director, his faith that the humanism can still survive at the end even in the worst kind of hell
