He first found his voice—rebellious, angry, engaged—in the fifties, following his life-altering experiences as a soldier in World War II; the four films collected here, made during the same period as \u003ci\u003eThe Human Condition,\u003c\/i\u003e reflect Kobayashi’s coming into his own as an artist. He fought to get these powerful dramas made at a studio more oriented at the time toward quiet family melodramas, and they are unforgettable depictions of a postwar Japan troubled by identity crises and moral corruption on scales both intimate and institutional.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cinema Cellar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41779987382357,"sku":"CCECL171DVD","price":47.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3032\/6613\/files\/gioars3rjop8g5kk2falrdi3wlrwcd_large_8xi70tzqswjlhvse.jpg?v=1767992654","url":"https:\/\/cinemacellar.com\/products\/eclipse-series-38-masaki-kobayashi-against-the-system-dvd","provider":"Cinema Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
