The Catch

Towards the end of World War II, a black American pilot is captured and imprisoned by rural Japanese villagers, who are torn between their loyalty to the occupying forces and their own sense of justice. As tensions simmer beneath the surface, the line between victim and perpetrator blurs in this haunting drama about the complexities of war, identity, and humanity. Directed by Nagisa Ōshima from Kenzaburō Ōe's prize-winning novella, "The Catch" is a powerful exploration of the human condition that lingers long after its conclusion.
