A reader sent this query to Film Comment. The film sounds vaguely
familiar but I can't name it. Anyone here know it?
Thanks

Subject: Japanese film
Attention Mr. Chuck Stephens:
I read your article on Japanese film in the September/October 2005
issue and thought you may be able to help identify a Japanese film I
saw long ago and want to find its name and/or director.
I believe I saw it in New York City in the 50's, but it could have
been California in the 60's!??? The story was about a man from a
well-to-do family who wanted very badly to go off to a current local
war and did so. His family strongly opposed his wishes and kidnapped
him off the battle field(?) and locked him in an attic filled with
philosophical books. Years later he comes out of the attic a very
changed and peaceful man.
Any help you can provide would be gratefully appreciated.
