MacArthur's Children ★★★ 1985

A poignant evocation of life in a Japanese fishing village as it faces the end of WWII and American occupation. Not as good as some of the other Japanese films, but it is an interesting look at the changes in culture caused by their defeat in the war. In Japanese with English subtitles. 115m/C VHS . JP Masako Natsume, Shima Iwashita, Hiromi Go, Takaya Yamamauchi, Shiori Sakura, Ken(saku) Watanabe, Juzo Itami, Yoshiyuka Omori; D: Masahiro Shinoda; W: Takeski Tamura.
