The Emperor's Naked Army Marches On ゆきゆきて、神軍 (Yukiyukite Shingun)
3 – 5:30PM
Kazuo Hara (1945- ), known for his iconoclastic documentaries, presents a controversial film revealing deeply disturbing aspects of Japanese history and society. The director accompanies WWII veteran Kenzo Okuzaki on his single-minded crusade to reveal secrets that have been hidden for decades. Okuzaki’s target is the complacent attitude of the postwar Japanese and, ultimately, Emperor Hirohito’s responsibilities for war crimes. 1987, 122 min., 16mm, color, in Japanese with English subtitles. Directed by Kazuo Hara.
Introduction by Wendy Keys, former Executive Producer of Programming, the Film Society of Lincoln Center.
