Yukiyukite, shingun (Japan Version) DVD Region 2

A subject of great controversy when it was released in 1987, Hara Kazuo's brilliant award-winning documentary The Emperor's Naked Army Marches On (a.k.a. Yukiyukite, Shingun) is an uncommon and unforgettable exploration of wartime guilt and post-war memories. Jolting, shocking, and cathartic, the documentary revolves around bombastically angry 62-year-old WWII veteran Okuzaki Kenzo and his aggressive, obsessive quest to address past wrongs and inner demons. During the war, Okuzaki was sent to the battlefields of New Guinea, and he was one of the few soldiers to return alive, though forever scarred by all that he had seen and done. In the ensuing years, where other veterans silently integrated back to society, leaving too much unsaid, Okuzaki lashed out in a tireless one-man tirade against the emperor. His radical crusade, which included outrageous acts like shooting pachinko balls at the emperor and even murder, landed him in prison multiple times.

Relentlessly prying at the Pandora's box, Okuzaki is on a mission to find the truth behind the deaths of two soldiers in his unit who were executed for desertion after the war's end. As he moves up and down the line of command, interrogating survivors and relatives, dashed memories and chilling stories reluctantly spill out, but offer little resolution. The camera unobtrusively follows Okuzaki who, like a man possessed, becomes increasingly volatile and violent as the journey progresses, at times forcing the answers out of veterans. By casting a calm, unjudging lens against a reckless, resentful subject, Hara Kazuo offers no easy messages with his documentary, and instead opens a platform for reflection on wartime experiences, post-war society, and the nature of memory and responsibility.
