Description
Description
The third part in Kobayashi’s epic trilogy of films based on the six-volume novel. Strong-armed into the Japanese military during World War II, Kaji has reluctantly learned to kill on the battlefields. When his country surrenders, Kaji gives himself up to the Russian troops, hoping to receive better treatment than he had at the hands of his Japanese superiors. But his hopes are dashed once more, and he is subject to cruelty upon cruelty while imprisoned in a Manchurian POW camp.
