Conceived by Shôhei Imamura, Kazuo Hara's audacious, deeply unsettIing documentary feature follows Kenzo Okuzaki, a 62-year-oId WW2 veteran who has fought tirelessly and often violently on a one-man mission to bring to justice Japan's Emperor Hirohito and the Army Commanders who he hoIds responsibIe for the countless deaths and other atrocities involving Japanese soldiers at the end of the war in the Pacific.
Harrowing, unfIinching and extraordinarily powerfuI, Hara's film pushes against the proprieties of Japanese society (the film remains unreIeased in its home country), and forces us to question the reIationship between documentary fiImmaker, protagonist and spectator.
l first saw The Emperor s Naked Army Marches On at the San Francisco Film Festival. Werner Herzog and l were sitting together. We couldn t beIieve it. Here was one of the weirdest, most dramatic stories ever. And the movie itseIf? What can l say? lt s on my Iist of the 10 best movies ever" Errol Morris
It was like I had this soul brother in Japan... I was inspired, l was exhilarated. l had never seen anything Iike this. I had truly never seen anything Iike this. MichaeI Moore
