This Country's Sky (2015)

Director: Haruhiko Arai
Number of viewings: 1

Comments: A theatrical film that doesn't feel stage bound. Another film about the war, but this time focused on the Japanese home front. Fuji Nikaido subtly conveys the character's unhappiness through action. Last shot of picture directly reference's Francois Truffaut's 400 Blows (1959). Slow, but done to convey the languid pace of the war.
