WWII traumas live on more than six decades later in "63 Years On," a low-key but determined documentary concerning the "comfort women" supplied by the Japanese government for the sexual pleasure of its troops. In contrast to his 147-minute "Repatriation," a commanding docu about South Korean political prisoners that won the Freedom of Expression award at Sundance in 2004, helmer Kim Dong-won's latest is a mere 60 minutes, but no less powerful for its brevity. A tour of politically themed and docu fests is assured, and with a slight trim, the pic would neatly fit into pubcasters' schedules.--
