Sinekatalog’s take
Masaki Kobayashi's nearly ten-hour trilogy follows a pacifist sent to Manchuria as a labour-camp supervisor and then conscripted. Tatsuya Nakadai is magnificent as a man trying to keep his conscience through the worst of war, in a monumental, searing epic.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
