The Human Condition: disc 1 (1959). The first instalment of Kobayashi's four disc trilogy (yeah i know) which portays an epic tale of a Japanese man's life during World War II. So far, this series is threatening to be one of the greatest movie epics ever. Not for the light hearted, this heart wrenching flick has been, up to this point at least, a great example of epic story-telling. As the first instalment was 3 1/2 hours long, looks like i have some hours to log in. Ashe.
