Fires on the Plain (Blu-Ray, #378)

Fires on the Plain (Blu-Ray, #378)

An agonizing portrait of desperate Japanese soldiers stranded in a strange land during World War II, Kon Ichikawa’sĀ Fires on the PlainĀ is a compelling descent into psychological and physical oblivion. Denied hospital treatment for tuberculosis and cast off into the unknown, Private Tamura treks across an unfamiliar Philippine landscape, encountering an increasingly debased cross section of Imperial Army soldiers, who eventually give in to the most terrifying craving of all. Grisly yet poetic,Ā Fires on the PlainĀ is one of the most powerful works from one of Japanese cinema’s most versatile filmmakers.

  • Introduction by Japanese-film scholar Donald Richie
