Do you also have the 2014 remake? It’s probably the most explicitly violent war film I have ever seen. Perhaps it’s not quite the masterwork of the original, but it presents an interesting and very disturbing modern take on the story.
Thank you.
RL if you also have the 2007 Criterion release of Ichikawa’s “The Burmese Harp” (1957/116mins) with interview from Ichikawa himself would be awesome to upload.
Forgot to say thanks for finding this!
Very interesting anti-war addition, only knew Kon Ichikawa from the ’60s Tokyo Olympiad docu.
PS: Clint Eastwood Iwojima Hollywood stuff compared to this. Not for the skirmish. No wonder Ichikawa assigned to film the Olympics he’s beyond pacifist, he’s humanist.
