A Japanese soldier endures illness, starvation and brutality in the Philippines at the tail end of WW2.
In 2014, Shinya Tsukamoto (Tokyo Fist) got the chance to direct a remake of a 1959 war movie of the same name, and its got his signature madness all over it. He plays the lead role himself, and gives us the portrayal of a man who slowly slips into violent confusion and disorientation. Both peaceful and patient, while also making sure to display copious amounts of blood and gore, Tsukamoto has the power to make a relatively low-budget film feel like a huge deal and with a humane running time to boot (1h27m).
Genre: Drama/War
