The Emperor in August is a 2015 Japanese historical drama, directed by Masato Harada (Chronicle of My Mother).

The foreign film concerns the last days before Japan’s surrender at the end of World War II. It focuses on Emperor Hirohito (Masahiro Motoki), Prime Minister Suzuki (Tsutomo Yamazaki), and War Minister Anami (Kôji Yakusho), contemplating the repercussions of the Potsdam Declaration, a failed military coup, and, more horribly, the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Twilight Time’s Blu-ray edition of the movie include an isolated music track and an original theatrical trailer as bonus features.
