One of Japan’s great films, this impassioned cinema-verite documentary is an account of the one-man wrecking crew/dissident, Okuzaki Kenzo. Okuzaki was an ex-Private of the 36th Engineering Corps who fought in the West Pacific during World War II. Since the late 1950’s Okuzaki took it upon himself to right the wrongs of Japan’s military past with unabashed zeal and self-ordained divinity.
1987, Japan, 123 minutes.
Directed by Hara Kazuo.
