Description:
A Desperate Love Story Adorned with a Blood-Red Bloom, Featuring a Deserter and a Javanese Girl! The Sunset of Death Coloring Mount Medevi!
■ An exotic, lyrical tale richly depicting the joys and sorrows of human encounters, now available on HD-remastered DVD!
■A unique war film set to the famous melody of "Bungawan Solo," leaving a quiet, lingering resonance in the heart
■Set in Java just before the end of the war, it depicts the tragic love story between three deserters and a beautiful local sister, as well as a deadly struggle against the military police
■The three deserters, each with different values and emotions, are played by Ryo Ikebe, Hisaya Morishige, and Yunosuke Ito
■Ryo Ikebe plays the protagonist, a man embodying both sincerity and inner conflict, and is regarded as a figure who personifies the viewer’s “conscience”
■Asami Kuji and Setsuko Wakayama, who played the Javanese sisters with contrasting personalities, underwent intensive training in the Malay language, and Asami Kuji even performed a song in the original language
■ Director Kon Ichikawa depicted the uncertain nature of humanity in contrast to the vast natural world, portraying people not as good or evil, but as unfortunate, contradictory beings just as they are. He also focused on human relationships and shifts in atmosphere rather than dialogue, directing the film to bring emotions to the surface through silence
■The Solo River, which flows through the center of Java, is a special place steeped in numerous legends, where the islanders entrust their various dreams
■Originally an Indonesian song "Bungawan Solo." Japanese soldiers hummed it during the war, and after the war, Toshiko Matsuda sang it with her own lyrics, making it a huge hit.
■First released: 1951
