A Woman and War Wednesday, July 17, 7:30 PM (98 min.) Junichi Inoue got his start in film working as an assistant to the legendary Koji Wakamatsu, and, with this stark and explicit film, has made it clear that he is ready to carry the mantle of his infamous and provocative mentor. A Woman and War, Inoue’s feature-length debut, is a movie that hopes to explore the unpleasant reality of the sex crimes committed by the Japanese army during WWII. The horrifying ramifications of these events are shown to us through a trio of broken character: a soldier returned from war, his lost arm betraying far greater injuries to his psyche; a woman who’s lost the ability to feel pleasure, having shed the sensation to survive prostitution; and a writer utterly conquered by his own cynicism and despair. A Woman and War is a film intent on raising discussion, and Junichi Inoue will be here to answer any questions you may have after the screening. This is an opportunity that you won’t want to miss.
