    ONODA: 10000 NIGHTS IN THE JUNGLE (Arthur Harari 2021)

    What at first seems odd that it was made by a French team later seems inevitable because the tale of a soldier who goes on fighting his own private war on a Pacific island for nearly 30 years after the end of WWII is hard to look at for some Japanese helmers, though in the end Arthur Harari finds the nobility as well as the endurance in this amazing, epic saga. This was the opening night film of the Un Certain Regard section of last year's Cannes, and got an AlloCiné press rating of 88% on its July French theatrical release. "Arthur Harari directs the magnificent biopic of a man who wanted neither peace nor to die" (LIberation). One of the memorable films of this year's ND/NF.
