Representations of Suicide in Japanese Cinema

[Mathieu Capel]

Last but not least, you may refer to the infamous Yamamoto Kajirô's films at
the end of WW2, like Raigekitai shutsudô, and other propaganda films.
Watching these films is rather painful, but if you don't set proper
chronological limitations to your research, these kamikaze films can't be
left out...
