Le jour le plus long du Japon
日本のいちばん長い日
The dramatic true story of the end of WWII.
You sit in a Tokyo war room where maps are already ashes and the radio hums static. The Emperor’s voice cracks over the airwaves asking for peace but the uniformed men in the room refuse to surrender. When junior officers storm the palace with drawn swords the Minister of the Army walks into a garden and puts on his dress whites one last time. Directors later note how silence can outscore any score. The leaves fall like spent papers across the courtyard.
