"Black Rain"
1988
Directed by Shohei Imamura

"Flawless.  Black Rain is a profound chiller." -  Vincent Canby, The New York Times.  "Lethally beautiful... luminous... Skillfully directed and superbly acted." - San Francisco Examiner.  A Cannes Film Festival award winner, Black Rain is an unforgettable movie about humanity and survival after the 1945 atomic catastrophe that changed the world forever.  Stunning photography vividly details the horror of ravaged Hiroshima, while its shocked survivors struggle with radiation sickness as they rebuild their shattered lives.  Unlike other movies about the bomb, Black Rain is both graphic and touching as you see those who escaped death cope with their haunting memories five years after the war has ended.  It is a powerful and chilling movie, already considered to be a modern masterpiece from one of  Japan's greatest directors.  A somber, restrained, and very moving story detailing ten years in the life of a family which survived the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima--and the ways in which their bodies and souls were poisoned by the fallout. Filled with haunting images. With Yoshiko Tanaka, Kazuo Kitamura, Etsuko Ichihara, Shoichi Ozawa, Norihei Miki, Keisuke Ishida.  123 minutes.
