The Burmese Harp - The Criterion Collection4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray (Restored)Genre: World CinemaLabel: Criterion CollectionDescription: An Imperial Japanese Army regiment surrenders to British forces in Burma at the close of World War II and finds harmony through song. A private thought to be dead disguises himself as a Buddhist monk and stumbles upon spiritual enlightenment. Magnificently shot in hushed black and white Kon Ichikawa's The Burmese Harp is an eloquent meditation on beauty coexisting with death and remains one of Japanese cinema's most overwhelming antiwar sentiments both tender and brutal in its grappling with Japan's wartime legacy.
