Leave your thoughts about The Emperor's Naked Army Marches On.
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsDonald J. LevitDirector Hara does not intrude; he merely records as sixty-two-year-old Kenzo Okuzaki relentlessly pursues his campaign to expose dark secrets and discredit the Emperor. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonHere's a nasty little piece of work that's both shocking and heroic in its audacity. |
| User ReviewJohn Lhara claims okusaki now does porn. okusaki is the man. |
| User ReviewEaston DThe subject of this documentary is a mental case who physically attacks old folks who he believes committed artocities in WW2. Hilarity ensues. |
| User ReviewAndriy Dpowerful. a most dynamic documentary you will ever see. a great movie, very intense and revelatory. |
| User ReviewEd QKenzo Okuzaki's unhinged personality and determination to uncover war crimes makes for an absorbing and abrasive documentary experience. |
| User ReviewGabriel GOne of the best documentary films I've ever seen! I understand why Michael Moore praised this movie, because maybe it inspired him to make non fiction works. It's a hard testimony of Japanese atrocities in WWII, including those whose victims were the soldiers of the Imperial Army. Shocking! By the way, the film could also inspire to the Iraqi journalist who threw a shoe to George Bush... ;) |
| User ReviewAlex CIncredible film about obsession and justice. |
| User ReviewDamien Adia MIncredibly potent subject matter. The raw, electric viscera of this documentary is offered through expert directing in a methodical and exasperating narrative. Raising crucial and complex questions about the ethical and rhetorical limits of testimony, witness and truth. This is a MUST see for anyone interested in - inter alia -questions of social justice, political soverignty and compassionate engagement. |
| User ReviewJoseph KDo you think you are a rebel against mainstream society? Check out Kenzo Okuzaki on this documentary. |
