Onoda: 10,000 Nights in the Jungle [Available Dec. 13 on various VOD platforms.] Awesome cinematography and landscapes dominate Arthur Harari's powerful, award-winning, factually based, poignant, well-acted, superbly-written, heartbreaking, overly long, 173-minute, 2021 film inspired by Cendron and Gérard Chenu's 1974 biography that focuses on dedicated, stubborn, paranoid, delusional lieutenant Japanese soldier Hiroo Onoda (Yuya Endo/Kanji Tsuda) who spent 30 years, many of them with fellow soldiers (Yuya Matsuura/Tetsuya Chiba, Shinsuke Kato, and Kai Inowaki), from February 1945 until September 1974 in the Philippine jungle on the island of Lubang after the end of WWII because he was convinced there was still an enemy to fight despite his father (Nobuhiro Suwa) and brother years later trying to persuade him otherwise and finally surrendering when ordered by his initially reluctant commanding officer Major Taniguchi (Issey Ogata).
