Letters from Iwo Jima
Dave Kehr of the Chicago Reader said: "No other film on the horrors of war has gone anywhere near as far as Kon Ichikawa's 1959 Japanese feature." John Monogahn of the "Detroit Free Press" compared it to Clint Eastwood's "Letters from Iwo Jima". The film is not without criticism however, and many Japanese critics dislike Ichikawa's work.
