The law in Japanese film

[tanaka taro]

A special case perhaps is Pride: unmei no toki (1997) about the Tokyo 
Tribunal. The film, presenting Tojo Hideki as a true hero and the whole 
Tribunal as a farce, was directed by Ito Shunya, but the real 'makers' were 
the same nationalists responsible for Merdeka a few years later.

Though a large part of the courtroom dialogue is in English, I don't know 
if there is a version with English subtitles for the parts in Japanese (as 
far as I know the film was never released abroad).
