    The Emperor's Naked Army Marches On (1987)

    On this episode of Adventures Through Asian Cinema Ben and Jack talk about the stark and brutal documentary The Emperor's Naked Army Marches On, directed by Kazuo Hara. Centred around a 62 year old WWII veteran Kenzo Okuzaki, this documentary follows him as he searches for answers about the unexplained deaths of two of his fellow soldiers. This is a radical and politically charged work with confrontational and tense execution, a must see for fans of boundary pushing documentaries. You can find Ben on ⁠Twitter⁠ and ⁠Letterboxd⁠, and you can find ⁠Jack⁠ just about everywhere.  Have a question or comment? A film suggestion perhaps?
