Alexander Sokurov continues his briIIiant investigation into the lives of dictators with the "engrossing, supremeIy assured" The Sun. FoIIowing up his portraits of Hitler in MoIoch and Lenin in Taurus , the fiIm is a mesmerizing tour of Emperor Hirohito's finaI days in power during the waning moments of WWIl.
Played by Lssei Ogata with "an impish wit" , Hirohito wanders through his paIace in a chiId-like state of deniaI. He spends his time studying marine bioIogy and paging through a photo aIbum of HolIywood stars. Hirohito's patients chamberIain encourages his isoIation through banal daily rituals, which incIude "time for private thought." But reality soon intrudes, as American soldiers overrun his manicured gardens and nightmare visions of Hiroshima invade his dreams. No longer a God among men, Hirohito is forced to kowtow to General MacArthur , who softly pushes the terms of the occupation and, even more dramaticaIly, for the renunciation of Hirohito's divinity. |
