| Abstract | Loosly based on a true story, this film explores Japanese holdouts from World War II living on the remote Pacific island of Anatahan. A group of 12 sailors vie for the affection of Keiko, the only woman on the island, that slowly causes the disintegration of military discipline and Japanese tradition. Director Josef von Sternberg presents the drama as a detached documentary and a warning about the power of female sexuality. |
