### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Masterpiece
*by M***R on March 25, 2025*

Had this on my radar for the last few years and finally watched it this year. This three part Japanese WWII epic is a masterpiece. Honestly, everyone one into film should watch it before they die.The Human Condition tells the story of a man named Kaji working and serving in Japanese occupied Manchuria. Part 1 covers his role working as a supervisor at a mine using POW labor, part 2 is about his training as a cadet in the army, and part 3 covers his epic journey of survival with Japan’s collapse & defeat at the end of WWII. Very rarely do we see or at least I have seen, movies covering the Japanese perspective of the war and this one is excellent.The entire epic is around 9-10 hours long so it is indeed a long one, but worth it. IMO I think Part 1 and 2 are definitely a slow burn, but the switch up at the end of part 2 and part 3 as a whole makes it worth it. So good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A staggerring masterpiece of Japanese Cinema. Buy it and enjoy.
*by C***S on February 21, 2018*

Fantastic four disc edition of one of the greatest pieces of Japanese and world cinema films ever made. It is about the Japanese occupation of Manchuria during world war 2.It is a masterpiece. I first saw this on British television in the 1980's and considered it one of the greatest films I had ever seen on TV. I have been looking for it for over 25 years so really glad to have find it in such a well presented and packaged collection. I am really looking forward to watching it. It was originally released in Japan as 3 separate films in the 1960's and is spread over 4 discs in the Criterion collection.It is by the great Japanese Film Director Masaki Kobayshi and is considered a mammoth and moving humanist drama and tells the story of a naïve young Japanese man who journeys from labour camp supervisor to Imperial Army soldier to Soviet POW in World War 2 Japanese occupied Manchuria. It is an anti war and humanist tale of a corrupt and brutal system and an indictment of Japans wartime cruelty, mentality and atrocities and his struggle to survive and retain his morality amidst the tragedy of war. In my view it is one of the most staggering achievements in world cinema and a masterpiece of cinema at its greatest. If you have not seen it and are interested in Japanese cinema the and the War in th Far East then buy it and enjoy. It is worth the cost and the effort
