I can't believe how much I loved this movie. I'm usually not a fan of war films but the movie shows everything that is terrible about war in graphic detail. It's powerful, bleak, and beautifully photographed. If you're into dark humor, you'll have a few laughs too.

An absolutely dismal view of humanity descending into a state of desperation. Inevitably, humans become mere beasts when faced with starvation and certain death, which is graphically demonstrated by this film. If you can handle the horrors of war, this movie will show you the worst of them.

A fantastic and touching tale of human desperation.

Few films are this depressing, but that also means it's depressing-good, meaning great. Ichikawa's film makes Stone's Platoon look like chicken feed. There's barely another film I can think of that shows a soldier's devastating trek through war this shockingly. Human Condition is still the best Japanese war film (trilogy), but this is right up there. By the end, the protagonist Tamura simply wants to go to the farmers on the other side of the hill, just to see "normal people" again. It's a statement about war you can never shrug off.

This downbeat but fervent pic goes much further than the accepted war masterpieces in detailing humanity in crisis, and the spark left in one man. Production one of the most searing comments on war yet made.
