A great film. Have you seen 'Biruma No Tatekoto' ('The Burmese Harp') ?

An amazing story of personal and spiritual redemption in the face of a world gone insane. Ichikawa remade it in 1985 as a colour film but for me the original will always be the touch stone.

It's region B, so all the more reason to get a region-free player if you don't already have one.
No I am still recovering from Fires ;^) will watch eventually - PhilJ 15:37:28 11/21/10 (0)

Another shout out for, The Burmese Harp. Very underrated. Also, a Chinese film - tinear 15:17:40 11/21/10 (3)
about the Japanese invasion, "Devils on the Doorstep," by Wen Jiang, is a brilliant WWII film.

  I am horrified at a thought I would have to pay per movie.
