Rare film to tackle the subject of the atomic bombing of Japan at the end of World War Two. In his adaptation of Masuji Ibuse’s novel, Shohei Imamura (Ballad of Narayama’s) chose to keep a thematic and aesthetic distance. The film is austere, following the last few years in the lies of a family of Hiroshima survivors. Beautiful black-and-white camerawork in an unusual and affecting work.
