THE SUN (2005)

ALEKSANDR SOKUROV

Plot

Third part in Aleksandr Sokurov's tetrology, following "Moloch" and "Taurus", focuses on Japanese Emperor Hirohito and Japan's defeat in World War II when he is finally confronted by Gen. Douglas MacArthur who offers him to accept a diplomatic defeat for survival. Captivating, surreal and humane. A profoundly good movie.
