When asked what most represents the 20th century, many Japanese would answer the atomic bombs. Only the dead from the bombs would be able to articulate the truth of the tragedy. After half a century, the time has come for a female victim to break the taboo and speak about her experience in Hiroshima. This is the true feminist film that Yoshida and Okada have finally accomplished after years of work.
