Synopsis
Taking place during the Second Sino-Japanese War and based on a banned short story by writer Edogawa Rampo, Wakamatsu's latest film is both an indictment of right-wing militarist-nationalism and a deeply affecting reminder of the pressures put on Japanese women during war and peacetime. Part of a series of works that re-visit the country’s fascist past, Caterpillar satirically deploys Japanese propaganda and demystifies the glorification of the country’s wartime past.
