About Caterpillar
The story of a village woman given the grueling task of looking after (and fulfilling the sexual needs of) her quadruple amputee husband, a Japanese soldier in the Second Sino-Japanese War who has been decreed a "War God" by the Emperor.
Directed by Kōji Wakamatsu, Caterpillar leans on a strong ensemble — Shinobu Terajima, Keigo Kasuya, Sabu Kawahara — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2010.
