Downed American fliers in WW II are vivisected by Japanese surgeons in medical experiments.

Early in ''The Sea and Poison,'' the harrowing Japanese movie, a surgical team performs a lung operation on a young woman. It is probably the most graphic view that most of its audience will ever have had of the scalpel and forceps doing their work, and you may find yourself joining the young intern Suguro, who confesses, ''Today in the operating room, I had to close my eyes.''

That episode prepares us for another operation, the climactic scene in which a captured American pilot is subjected to vivisection experiments. Again, there is the feeling of being trapped in an operating room; you can't watch, but you can't stop watching. In these scenes, the director, Kei Kumai, proves himself a master of a kind of super-realism.

Mr. Kumai's script, drawn from a novel by Shusaku Endo, is less gripping. Mr. Endo based his controversial work on an atrocity committed in the spring of 1945 by doctors at the University of Kyushu medical department. Under orders of the military, they performed fatal experiments on eight American fliers. Twenty-five of those involved were convicted of war crimes.

Mr. Kumai tells the story through three participants in the operation -two interns (including Suguro, sympathetically played by Eiji Okuda) and a nurse. Their reasons for cooperating - careerism, weakness, jealousy - smack of a kind of fiction that doesn't rise to its momentous subject. Perhaps the characters were better developed and more convincing in Mr. Endo's novel.

When he is directing his camera at the operating table or into hospital wards or along the hospital's heavily shadowed corridors, however, Mr. Kumai is very much in charge. His vision, in black and white, is strong, steady, serious. The poignantly beautiful image we are left with, the residue of the experiment on the operating-room floor being washed away to the sea, suggests the depths of a deeply troubling theme.
