Alexander Sokurov’s fascinating and compelling film chronicles the events leading up to Hirohito’s momentous speech, the historic renunciation of his divine status and his meetings with General Douglas MacArthur, the commander-in-chief of the occupying American forces, who advises his own President not to declare the Japanese leader a war criminal.
