Lieutenant Okubo
Segunda Guerra Mundial (1939-1945). Rodada íntegramente en japonés, la película ofrece la versión nipona de la batalla de Iwo Jima, el episodio más cruento de la guerra del Pacífico, en el que murieron más de 20.000 japoneses y 7.000 estadounidenses. El objetivo de la batalla para los japoneses era conservar un islote insignificante, pero de gran valor estratégico, pues desde allí defendían la integridad de su territorio. El mismo año, Eastwood dirigió también "Banderas de nuestros padres", que narra la misma batalla desde el punto de vista norteamericano. La versión japonesa muestra cómo el general Tadamichi Kuribayashi (Ken Watanabe) organizó la resistencia a través de un sistema de túneles. Décadas después, varios cientos de cartas son desenterradas del suelo de esa inhóspita isla. Las cartas ponen cara y voz a los hombres que allí lucharon, así como al extraordinario general que los dirigió.
Kunihiro
In 1908, Titoe leaves her country, Japan, to try her luck in Brazil. Her intention is just to get rich and return in five years. But life has other plans for her.
Miyako is a frustrated insurance saleswoman stuck in a major dry spell. She tries every trick in the book, including aggressive flirting, which gets her plenty of gropers but no buyers. One day while venturing down a narrow stairwell, she injures her ankle and happens upon Mitsuru who works for some mysterious foreign company. Decked out in high goth style -- complete with long inky black hair and mascaraed eyes -- Mitsuru cuts quite an odd figure, yet his seductive though menacing ways make him difficult for Miyako to resist. Escorting her to his office to treat her ankle, Miyako notices that his all-female staff seem more glassy-eyed and soul-deadened than the average office workers. In fact, they seem almost like zombies. Later, weird things start happening. Mitsuko finds vomit on her doorstep, she seems to be tailed by a shadowy woman in a red dress, and most strikingly, she finds herself utterly powerless against Mitsuru's advances.
