Kinju Fukasaku presents this superb War film, exploring and critiquing some of the facets and effects of WWII in Japan. It's definitely an effective film, with some very interesting stylistic choices and good use of actual WWII photos. Though some could argue that certain points are over-stylised and that the whole thing's a little too heavy handed, but I think that is all fine here and just adds to it's effectiveness. It also has some really good performances and it's just a great movie in general.
****1/2
