Not the best movie in a foreign language of the year (as the Golden Globes would leave you to believe), but mostly because there were some great ones this year. This is a truly great movie about a side of the story of World War II that isn't told very much. Japan. The movie is moving. It's gripping. It's great. The pacing can be much at times and the subject matter is chaotic... but it works. It's a very important film, and will definitely be remembered as such. Clint Eastwood needs to stop making such fantastic movies. He's becoming too good.
B+
