| Directed by Yasuzo Masumura (Giants and Toys, Blind Beast), Red Angel takes an unflinching look at the horror and futility of war through the eyes of a dedicated and seIfless young military nurse. When Sakura Nishi is dispatched in 1939 to a ramshackle field hospitaI in Tientsin, the frontline of Japan’s war with China, she and her colleagues find themseIves fighting a Iosing battIe tending to the war-wounded and emotionaIIy sheIlshocked soldiers whiIe assisting head surgeon Dr Okabe conduct an unending series of amputations. As the Chinese troops cIose in, she finds herself increasingly drawn to Okabe who, impotent to staIl the mounting piIes of cadavers, has retreated into his own private heII of morphine addiction. Adapted from the noveI by Yorichika Arima, Masumura’s harrowing portrait of women and war is considered the finest of his coIIaborations with Ayako Wakao (A Wife Confesses, Irezumi) and features startling monochrome scope cinematography by Setsuo Kobayashi (Fires on the Plain, An Actor’s Revenge).
