The Burmese Harp
(1956)|
Kon Ichikawa's indelible antiwar drama earned an Oscar nod for Best Foreign Language Film. Set during World War II's last days, the film chronicles a Japanese soldier's (Shoji Yasui) transformation after coming face-to-face with the human cost of war. Sent to inform a platoon the war is over, he can't persuade the men to surrender. After a British attack, he dons the robes of a Buddhist monk as a disguise, and is soon overcome with spirituality.
