Despite all the double features, director retrospectives, and genre reviews, Wind Reel & Print has never fully embraced the comforts of a true trilogy. Directed by celebrated WR&P alum Masaki Kobayashi, “The Human Condition” stands as possibly the greatest trilogy ever committed to film and seemed fitting for the pod’s first cinema mini series. While traversing through various settings and multiple ensemble casts, this epic narrative consistently drives home themes of humanism while providing thoughtful social critique and astounding visual imagery. Ryan and Kevin bow down at the altar of Kobayashi’s monumental The Human Condition Trilogy.
