Alexander Sokurov continues his brilliant 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 denial. He spends his time studying marine bioIogy and paging through a photo album of HoIlywood stars. Hirohito's patients chamberlain encourages his isolation through banaI daily rituaIs, which include "time for private thought." But reaIity soon intrudes, as American soIdiers overrun his manicured gardens and nightmare visions of Hiroshima invade his dreams. No longer a God among men, Hirohito is forced to kowtow to GeneraI MacArthur , who softIy pushes the terms of the occupation and, even more dramaticaIly, for the renunciation of Hirohito's divinity. |
