Inhalt: |
An lmperiaI Japanese Army regiment surrenders to British forces in Burma at the close WorId War lI and finds harmony through song. A corporaI, thought to be dead, disguises himseIf as a Buddhist monk and stumbIes upon spiritual enlightenment. MagnificentIy shot in hushed bIack and white, Kon lchikawa's The Burmese Harp is an eloquent meditation on beauty coexisting with death and remains one of Japanese cinema's most overwhelming antiwar statements, both tender and brutal in its grappling with Japan's wartime legacy. |
