| Overview: | A fresh young army nurse (the radiant Ayako Wakao) on the front finds herself the nighttime prey of hungry soldiers and awash in a sea of blood and torn bodies. Despite the hell around her she struggles to maintain her strength and compassion, but her attempts at salvation, with an amputee solider and a morphine-addicted surgeon, could lead to her own sexual and spiritual martyrdom.
Alternating between unflinchingly brutal battlefield imagery and tender moments of emotional sacrifice, director Yasuzo Masumura's ("Blind Beast", "Manji") masterpiece plays like an impossible collaboration between Samuel Fuller and Akira Kurosawa.
