I remain haunted by this movie, years after viewing it.

Rating: 9/10 (21 March 2019)

The closing scene especially. The ghosts of the children looking down on the cityscape of modern Japan, risen from the ashes of the war that killed their parents, and then took their lives. I wonder if Scorsese drew inspiration for the closing scene of Gangs of New York from this film. In any case, this movie stays with you.
