Review of Caterpillar (2010) by Serge L — 13 Feb 2016

Japanese film mocking war once again. They are kind of good at it. If the englishes were losing wars, they would do this. A different take on the soldier coming back with no members. This one still has stubbles and a face, contrary to our canadian equivalent that came back only with a torso and his brain and could communicate only in morse.

So here, our hero is in much better shape, has a wife and is refered to as war god. He is also plunged into the vulnerable position, even though he is still abusive. This pushes him to reconsider his own previous abuses as well as becoming easily abused.

A funny turn of event. Very nice photography with the beautiful sepia tone. We get to see some japanese way of life and thinking.
