Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
One for politics junkies and history and war-film fans. Power and ambition drive every scene. A good follow-up to High and Low or Yojimbo. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost.
The mood
Tense.
The pace
Long and immersive, at 3 hr.
What might put you off
  • It's long: 3 hr.
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1976: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Tadashi Iki returns to Japan from a Soviet gulag 11 years after being captured during the invasion of Manchuria. He is offered a position in the expansive Kinki Corporation, but rival corporations are competing for a government contract to produce fighter planes.
