New Hoodlum Soldier Story: Firing Line

New Hoodlum Soldier Story: Firing Line (1972)

The story is presented as a voiced-over narrative by Arita (Takahiro Tamura), speaking long after the events of the film. In a remote army base in Manchuria, near the Soviet border, long-serving corporal Arita hates the military and looks forward to the day he may leave. Although a university graduate, he has several times deliberately failed the exam for promotion and thus remains a corporal after four years' service.

Director: Yasuzō Masumura
Writers: Masatoshi Tojo, Yasuzō Masumura.
