Devils on the Doorstep

Devils on the Doorstep - Dir. Jiang Wen (2000)

Japanese deserters hide out in tiny, Chinese village.

Tragicomedy set against the backdrop of the Japanese atrocities committed in China during WWII.

Alternately hilarious and gutwrenching. Story of simple people swept up by a conflict bigger than themselves.
