Onoda Hiroo, a Japanese soldier who refuses to accept the fact that the war ended in 1945, spends the next twenty-nine years fighting tirelessly. This film is the second feature by director Arthur Harari, who is widely renowned for his numerous scenarios and for his first feature, Dark Inclusion (2016), and tells the story of a real-life Japanese soldier. Beyond the subject of criticism of war or fanaticism, Onoda - 10 000 Nights in the Jungle is a metaphysical adventure drama that connects the genealogy of Werner Herzog′s Aguirre, The Wrath of God (1972) or Fitzcarraldo (1982). The director invites the audience to the island, which has become the only reason for the main character′s life, to join the anti-hero′s experience of fighting against death and solitude. To Onoda, is this island hell or heaven? Or is it a symbolic delusion created by people who have to live on anyway? (SEO Seunghee)
