Indirect, perhaps, as it's from a novel: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Short-Timers. Out of print, a PDF can be found easily.

Battle Without Honour or Humanity is a post-war Yakuza movie, maybe you will enjoy it as well?

BTW "the face of another" is a Japanese movie that is both very Japanese and French new wave inspired.
Worth a watch and gain a lot of "liberal metropolitan elite" points with it :p

The Marine training camp life, bullying and lead up to a recruit's sucide in the film Full Metal Jacket(1987) is a direct reference to the second episode(1959) of Masaki Kobayashi's epic film series 'The Human Condition'.
I was saving this to watch in a time when I'd not have decent internet and my brain had exploded from too much reading(ie now).
Over nine hours of post-war Japanese cinema if you are into that sort of thing.
I love discovering stuff like this.
