Kazuo Hara (原一男, Hara Kazuo) is a Japanese documentary film director. He won the award for Best Director at the 12th Hochi Film Award and at the 9th Yokohama Film Festival for The Emperor's Naked Army Marches On. That film also earned him the Directors Guild of Japan New Directors Award.

Biography

Kazuo Hara est le à Ube, dans la préfecture de Yamaguchi au Japon.

Il remporte le prix du meilleur réalisateur de la 12e édition des Hōchi Film Awards et de la 9e édition du festival du film de Yokohama pour L'armée de l'empereur s'avance . Ce film lui vaut également de remporter le prix des nouveaux réalisateurs de la Directors Guild of Japan. D'après Clément Rauger, « son approche est effectivement singulière et reconnaissable entre toutes puisque sa caméra ne se contente pas simplement de capter des paroles ou des faits mais participe, interagit avec ses sujets. Son approche du Japon se situe sans doute dans sa manière de tenir la caméra, minimisant son rôle afin de responsabiliser ses personnages, lesquels se réapproprient leur propre histoire ».

En 2017, après de longues années d’absence, Kazuo Hara redonne la parole aux couches les plus fragilisées de la société japonaise, Sennan Asbestos Disaster retrace huit années de l’action en justice visant à obtenir une indemnisation de l’État pour les victimes de dommages liés à l’amiante dans la ville de Sennan, non loin de l’aéroport international du Kansai.

Une créature géante se manifeste dans la baie de Tokyo, avant de faire surface et de terroriser la ville. Le cabinet ministériel se réunit d'urgence, mais le Premier Ministre est incapable de prendre une décision. Les radiations mesurées sur le passage de la créature démontrent qu'elle est le triste produit d'une contamination. Plus tard, elle évolue et revient sous une forme encore plus monstrueuse, réduisant Tokyo en poussière. Devant l'ampleur de la menace, les États-Unis décident d'utiliser l'arme nucléaire sur le Japon si ce dernier échoue à éradiquer la menace, réveillant le spectre des bombardements d'Hiroshima et de Nagasaki. Une équipe de chercheurs se regroupe alors en marge des décisions du Cabinet pour déterminer comment éliminer le monstre, surnommé "Godzilla". La France et l'Allemagne finiront par s'en mêler à leur tours.

Though Okuzaki ultimately holds Emperor Hirohito accountable for all the suffering of the war, ("I hate irresponsible people...the most cowardly man in Japan, is the Emperor Hirohito"), he painstakingly tracks down former soldiers and officers, coaxing them into telling him about the deaths, often abusing them verbally and at times physically in the process (at one point, Okuzaki states that "violence is my forte"). The people he talks to give different accounts of what transpired almost 40 years earlier, some saying that those killed were executed for desertion after the war was already over, while others state that they were shot for cannibalizing New Guinea indigenous people.
