Japanese Devils (Riben Guizi) is an extraordinarily shocking and courageous film. It is difficult to imagine a more intimate, powerful, and persuasive indictment of Japanese atrocities in the long-ago war against China - or a more remarkable expression of public confession and contrition. The fourteen old Japanese who speak to us here are ordinary men, but that they were willing to acknowledge the monstrous crimes of their youth so that others might take warning is rare indeed. Japanese Devils transcends mere history to engage war, madness, and evil themselves. This is a document of major importance. - John Dower, author, Embracing Defeat, winner, Pulitzer Prize
