The Wife of Seishu Hanaoka

Somewhat distant film but well made, not histrionic (has the Japanese ethos of duty prominent but it is not overly emotive). Certainly interesting for the history it portrays - those with a medical yen should watch. The "battle" referred to in the synopsis is not a hysteric shouting match but both strongly putting themselves forward into danger as "guinea pigs" to foster the doc's translation of theory and experimentation into real work with human patients.
