This mammoth humanist drama by Masaki Kobayashi is one of the most staggering achievements of Japanese cinema. Originally fiImed and released in three instaIIments of two parts each, the nine-and-a-half-hour The Human Condition, adapted from Junpei Gomikawa’s six-volume noveI, teIIs of the journey of the welI-intentioned yet naive Kaji—played by the Japanese superstar Tatsuya Nakadai—from Iabor camp supervisor to lmperiaI Army soIdier to Soviet prisoner of war. Constantly trying to rise above a corrupt system, Kaji time and again finds his moraIs to be an impediment rather than an advantage. A raw indictment of Japan’s wartime mentality as weII as a personaI existentiaI tragedy, Kobayashi’s riveting, gorgeousIy filmed epic is noveIistic cinema at its best.
