>> powerful and moving antiwar film driven by Shindo’s own experience, it<br>>> focuses on the impact of WWII at home. Toward the war’s end, 100<br>>> middle-aged Japanese soldiers are ordered to the frontlines. Expecting<br>
>> that he will not return, one soldier, Sadazo (Musaka) leaves a<br>>> postcard from his wife Tomoko (Otake) with his bunkmate, Matsuyama<br>>> (Toyokawa), asking that he let her know he appreciated it. Matsuyama<br>
>> is one of only six men who survive from his unit. By the time he<br>>> finally arrives at Tomoko’s home to deliver Sadazo’s message, both of<br>>> them have been through unspeakable tragedy. But the human spirit is<br>
>> resilient, and in scenes filled with both rage and humor, the two<br>>> survivors begin to find a way to live with their despair.<br>>><br>>> “Postcard” will not open in Japanese theaters until August, so this is<br>
