If you loved The Human Condition I: No Greater Love, try The Human Condition III: A Soldier's Prayer

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Masaki Kobayashi, and they both carry the foreign gem, gut punch mood tags, and they sit in Drama / History / War territory.

What The Human Condition III: A Soldier's Prayer is

You lead straggling soldiers across Manchuria after the war. You want to go home. But survival demands impossible choices at every turn. Kobayashi indicts militarism itself. The film lingers.
