An Imperial Japanese Army regiment surrenders to British forces in
Burma at the close of World War II and finds harmony through song. A
private, thought to be dead, disguises himself as a Buddhist monk and
stumbles upon spiritual enlightenment. Magnificently shot in hushed
black and white, Kon Ichikawa's The
Burmese Harp is an eloquent
meditation on beauty coexisting with death and remains one of Japanese
cinema's most overwhelming antiwar statements, both tender and brutal
in its grappling with Japan's wartime legacy.
