L'Ange rouge

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.
