Under the Flag of the Rising Sun

Turns out Kinji Fukasaku made one of the few really harrowing anti-war films. It uses a similar technique to Kurosawa's Rashomon, but instead of crying out "Oh, the Humanity", this is actually interested in people and pain and hurt and guilt as important in themselves, not just as points in a philosophical discourse.
I can't say much more about the movie right now, I just watched it and it hit me a little too close for comfort.
