The CinePearl Take

Battles Without Honor and Humanity: Proxy War is a 1970s Japanese film in the drama mould — expect character-driven, emotional storytelling. Kinji Fukasaku directs and the script comes from Kazuo Kasahara. With 12 credited cast members, it has a wide, ensemble feel. Made in Japan, it is a natural pick for anyone exploring Japanese-language films. Released in 1973, it has had time to build an audience and word of mouth. At 119 minutes, it is a comfortable evening's watch.
