A re-imagination of Japanese Emperor Hirohito’s final days in power as WWII draws to a close.
Top critics, in their words
Working from Yuri Arabov and Jeremy Noble's script, Sokurov has a wonderful time not simply with Hirohito and history, but with his filmmaking, which can be oblique to the point of being stultifying. Here he plays with scale.
Alexander Sokurov's The Sun demands and rewards patience.
The Sun took four years to reach American theaters, but the long delay hasn't diminished the force of Sokurov's experimentation.
First shown at the Berlin Film Festival four years ago, The Sun is finally receiving its welcome American theatrical release, which means that one of the best movies of 2005 is now also one of the best of 2009.
Though he successfully humanizes Hirohito, who is shown happily shedding his divinity, Sokurov doesn't entirely exonerate him.
