HIROSHIMA
TCM, 9:45 p.m. ET
Hideo Sekigawa directed this 1953 film, which was a reaction from a section of Japanese artists and audiences that felt Children of Hiroshima was insufficiently political. Showing the two films back to back, as TCM is doing tonight, is a rare and truly eye-opening opportunity to compare and contrast two early cinematic Japanese responses to the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings.
