Unrelated, but kind of want to watch #Godzilla Minus One again.
Or, can anyone recommend another great movie about Japan after the war?
The Criterion channel is having a Seijun Suzuki showcase and we just just finished watching GATE OF FLESH from 1964 and my mind is blown. The Wikipedia plot description: "In an impoverished and burnt out Tokyo ghetto of post-World War II Japan, a band of prostitutes defend their territory, squatting in a bombed-out building." But that sounds much lighter than the film turns out to be! Highly recommended.

I started to try and teach myself to read Japanese. That was going to take a while though, so my other thought was to try and find movies that showed something of the times. Before events overtook and I had to stop, between 2015 and 2016 I watched 87 movies set in #postwarjapan.

I do hope to continue at some point and reach my goal of watching everything between the end of the war and the opening of the Olympic games in 1964.
