This is a 2010 Japanese war drama directed by Kōji Wakamatsu (若松孝二), partially based on Edogawa Rampo (江戸川乱歩)'s banned short-story "The Caterpillar." The film deals with various issues such as war crimes, handicapped veterans and spousal abuse as well as sexual perversion with graphic sex scenes. At heart it is a powerful indictment of war in general---Japan's militaristic past in particular. It is one of the best anti-war films I've ever seen.
