A devastating adaptation of Hayashi Fumiko’s final novel, Floating Clouds match-cuts between softened memories and brutal reality, past and present, sun-kissed images of French Indochina and a post-war Japan cloaked in shadows. Ignominy has overtaken Tokyo, where two former workers for the Imperial Forestry Ministry–Kengo, a married officer (Mori Masayuki) and Yukiko, a typist (Takamine Hideko)–reignite their wartime affair in a doomed attempt to revivify a past distorted by the ripe promise of endless imperial capital. Arguably Naruse’s most famous and acclaimed film and perhaps his most formally ambitious, Floating Clouds was described in Ozu Yasujiro’s diary as a “real masterpiece.”

One of the most exciting adventure tales ever told, this action epic recounts the planning, execution, and aftermath of a daring true-life escape from a German prisoner-of-war camp during World War II, in which 250 men attempted to tunnel their way to freedom. In the role that cemented his superstar status, Steve McQueen plays the motorcycle-racing daredevil who sets out to foil the Nazis, alongside an all-star cast that includes Charles Bronson, James Coburn, James Garner, and Donald Pleasence. The expert direction of John Sturges, eminently hummable Elmer Bernstein score, and rip-roaring stunts come together in what may just be the most spectacularly entertaining prison-break movie of all time, a rousing ode to the determination, camaraderie, and courage of everyday heroes. Screening as part of our F**k the Nazis repertory series.
