An original and fresh war film, unlike any

An original and fresh war film, unlike any I’ve seen before. The main character seemed clueless, sympathetic, and honorable, a decent man trying to survive in a world that had lost all sense of decency. It looks as if it could have been made today. Despite the grim subject, it wasn’t as bleak as I expected. It felt realistic, and was a very good print.

Not much of a story arc here, just a few men living in absolute misery.

Fires on the Plain (Nobi) is a 1959

Fires on the Plain (Nobi) is a 1959 Japanese war film directed by Kon Ichikawa. It is based on the novel Nobi by Shōhei Ōoka, translated as Fires on the Plain. It was written by Natto Wada. It stars Eiji Funakoshi, Osamu Takizawa and Mickey Curtis. It was produced by Masaichi Nagata. It was distributed by Daiei Film Company Limited. Vision wrote: "the Fires on the Plain follows a tubercular Japanese private and his attempt to stay alive during the latter part of World War II. The film was bleak and chilling. It will get under your skin but you'll be able to forget about it. Just the same as all the other atrocities we never hear about. It’s not about signal fires; it’s about the fires on the plain. Three fries for the cinematography, the performances and the chosen story. It felt almost like a documentary; hence the narration."
