(OK) Great war film of the losers: the 'retraite' of japanese army in Phillipines is a sort of zombi saga, where everybody is in the edge (sick, or depressed, or dead in life, waiting to eat his companion, wandering through life and death, looking as one skeleton to other skeleton...)
An agonizing portrait of desperate Japanese soldiers stranded in a strange land during World War II, Kon Ichikawa’s Fires on the Plain is a compelling descent into psychological and physical oblivion, and one of the most powerful works from one of Japanese cinema’s most versatile filmmakers.
Release date: 3 November 1959
