For his 49th and final film Ichimai no Hagaki (a.k.a. Postcard), veteran Japanese director Shindo Kaneto creates a passionate indictment against war. In the tradition of great anti-war films, Ichimai no Hagaki shows that the real war is not fought on the battlefields, but at home by those waiting for the soldiers to go home. Based on Shindo’s own World War II experiences, the film tells the stories of two characters searching for a direction after the war a soldier who returns home to find that he has lost his family, and a woman left alone after losing both her husbands in the war. A beautiful swan song for a legendary career, Ichimai no Hagaki received accolades across Japan and even represented the country in the race for Best Foreign Film at the Academy Awards.
