Review of Fires on the Plain (2015) by Immaculate E — 11 Jul 2007
It's refreshing to see a ww2 movie from the loosing side. Fires on the Plane follows a wandering Japanese soldier through the last days of ww2. We follow The main character searches for sanity through chaos of the remains of Japan's army.
Ichikawa chooses to focus his film on the less glorified part of war by depicting the starvation, exhaustion and overall moral decay of the soldiers. The film is quite exhausting and emotional. and definitely stands out in the genre.
