If you loved The Eagle of the Pacific, try Red Angel
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Theyboth carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, raw mood tags, and they sit in Drama / War territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Eagle of the Pacific, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Red Angel is
Masumura directs a war film seemingly intent on dispensing with war-film machismo. A young nurse, Sakura, serves in field hospitals during the Sino-Japanese war and witnesses unimaginable suffering. She develops feelings for a morphine-addicted doctor. The film certainly earns its reputation as unflinching.
