Hoezo in KINO

Documentarian, filmmaker and double Palme d’Or laureate Shōhei Imamura directed this devastating portrait on the nuclear holocaust that hit Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6th and 9th, the two dates that we’ll screen this scarcely seen masterpiece. The film focuses on the (literal) fallout of Hiroshima’s destruction and how the survivors cope with the yet unknown consequences of the blast. A compassionate and humanist look at ground zero and what it would have felt like living through this historical atrocity that changed our world forever. Japanese language with English subtitles.
