Under The Fluttering Military Flag

A very well told story, great visual style, and really effective war commentary too.The Rashomon influence is unmistakable. There's no way those shots of the sun through the trees and the varying perspectives of an unknown event just happened to occur in the same film the way they do. It's a great use of the device, too, where lying is much less a factor than faulty memory and all these characters wanting to forget.

war is hell, even when you set a Rashomon rhythm to it.
