Description

Japanese DVD release of "The Sun," the film that rocked the Berlin Film Festival and was said to be unshowable in Japan. The year, 1945 . . . August. His name was Emperor Hirohito and now he was living a simple life more befit of a gardener. The palace has been turned to ash and Japan's emporer mus now live underground studying biology in the one place that's safe for him in Japan, an underground shelter made of rock. The people believe him to be the son of god, but he knows he's the same as everyone else. The only difference, he was unable to stop the gears of war from turning in his own country. His grief turns to nightmares that plague him during naps, and when he wakes he finds only the nightmare of being alone. Murmuring that noone loves him, he brings his lips to ta photo album of his wife and child, both living far away. Japan is still in the dark. Soon the day comes to meet with General Douglas MacArthur, and in his heart the emperor has only one wish.

人間として昭和天皇を描く衝撃作! 2006年夏最大のヒット作品がついにDVD発売!! 名匠ソクーロフの静謐な世界をイッセー尾形他名優たちが見事に表現!! ベルリンを始め各国の映画祭で上映され絶賛の声が上がるも、日本での公開は不可能と言われた本作。多くのタブーを乗り越え奇跡の公開となった。最終的には100館を超える超拡大ロードショー。また、劇場公開に合わせたかのように昭和天皇の残した第二次世界大戦真意のメモが明らかになり、盛り上がりは最高潮を見せ、関連書籍が発売されるなど認知度があらゆる層へと広がった作品。――彼の名前は、昭和天皇、ヒロヒト。1945年8月。その時、彼は庭師のように質素な身なりをしていた。宮殿はすでに焼け落ち、天皇は地下の待避壕か唯一被災を免れた石造りの生物研究所で暮らしていた。人は、彼を神の子孫だと言ったが、天皇は「私の体は君たちと変わらない」と言った。戦況は緊迫していたが、彼は戦争を止めることができなかった。その苦悩は悪夢に姿を変え、午睡の天皇に襲い掛かる。うなされるように目を覚ます天皇の孤独。彼は「私は誰からも愛されない」と呟き、遠く離れて暮らす皇后と皇太子たちのアルバムに唇を寄せた。日本はまだ闇の中にある。やがて連合国占領軍総司令官ダグラス・マッカーサーとの会見の日が訪れる。彼はひとつの決意を胸に秘めていた・・・。
