Meddling between the line of a gross-out comedy or a messed-up war film , ENAMO is a weirdly tantalizing documentary that is just to good to be true. In this film, we follow Okuzaki, a psychotic man who was previously jailed for murdering his fellow veteran and trying to hit the the Emperor of Japan for failing his fellow Japanese during the war. In a period of five years, he tries to solve the mysterious deaths of two low ranking officials and a General during his stay in Papua New Guinea. By then everything starts to go absurd. Apparently a concoction of desperation, hunger, hatred, disillusionment and pure delusion happened causing the mysterious death, all of which slowly revealed by each of the guilty veterans in pure gory detail as Okuzaki (tropes and all) muscles them for the truth. All of which recorded in a 'matter- of- fact' Cinema-Verite styling of Hara.
Towards the end, the title itself come full circle. This veterans (including Okuzaki) is here with the truth that they all had been masking all this time due to the fact that they themselves cannot fathom the mistakes they did. They had became the emperor parading in his make-belief clothing. A true must watch for anyone who wants to understand the hardships and after-effects of war. [5/5]
