Kon Ichikawa, 92.
Kon Ichikawa, director of Fires On The Plain and The Burmese Harp, has died at the age of 92. Fires On The Plain (Nobi), set in Leyte during the Japanese retreat towards the end of World War II, is one of the fiercest, saddest condemnations of war ever committed to celluloid. It should be required viewing for all humans.
