Men Behind the Sun (Trilogy) 1988-1994

[jee]

Man Behind the Sun Trilogy released by Panorama.



As it would seem I am the first person to add this to my owned film collection (a couple of you have it on wishlist) I would like to offer my experience with it so far. I have only watched the first film as It only arrived from Hong Kong today. Took some time to arrive, nearly a month on shipping.

This is absolutely the best I have ever seen the film look, and I doubt it is possible to do any better than this. This film was never meant to look high budget or try to appeal to a large demographic. This is a film that displays the horrors that took place at the Japanese Unit 731 in occupied China (Manchuria I believe).

I have not seen the 2 sequels that come in this package, though I have heard they are of a similar nature as the first. These films are not for those who are easily disturbed. I would recommend that if you are easily troubled by this kind of content but are curious about what happened in Unit 731 during the second world war, read about it online. That may make it easier to digest or perhaps not, the imagination is unpredictable.

Anyhow, if you are like myself and are a film aficionado and are able to watch extreme films often found in some genres of art house cinema, mondo, and the exploitation arenas I would strongly recommend picking this one up. If you are only interested in the first title it is available as an individual but for the price I would recommend grabbing the trilogy.

I purchased my copy from yesasia.com, but it is also available from Panorama directly. You won't be able to find it on Amazon, though I am sure there are resellers marking up and selling on ebay.
