Black Sun: The Nanking Massacre (1995)
Reviewed by: mrblue on 2010-10-09
By Hong Kong standards, director Mau Dui-Fai (aka T.F. Mous) has not been very prolific, with only about a dozen films to his credit since starting his career in 1977. But many of his releases have attracted their fair share of controversy due to their high levels of sex and/or violence, most notably his 1988 war drama Men Behind the Sun, which was extremely graphic and the first film to recieve Hong Kong's Category III (their version of NC-17) rating.

Though Mau's 1995 picture Black Sun: The Nanking Massacre (sometimes labeled as Men Behind the Sun 4) isn't quite as hardcore in the violence department, it's still one of the most uncomfortably and unrelentingly grim and desolate movies you're ever likely to see, but it's still worth taking a look at if you have a strong stomach and a tolerance for the seedier side of Hong Kong cinema.
