They married for love, but their romance has faded and they are approaching middle age. MICHIYO has grown increasingly dissatisfied with her life since she has no children to care for. HATSUNOSUKE works for a securities firm, but the company is so small that he has no real chance for promotion. As a result of these frustrations, MICHIYO nags HATSUNOSUKE while he remains aloof in an effort to avoid a serious confrontation. When HATSUNOSUKE's niece, SATOKO, runs away from her home in Tokyo and arrives at their doorstep, real problems arise. HATSUNOSUKE is in seventh heaven as he shows his beautiful young niece around Osaka. MICHIYO 1 Del 25 de julio al 6 de agosto 2017 en Cineteca Nacional Retrospectiva de Mikio Naruse stays home and irons the laundry while her husband and SATOKO frequent the local taverns. One day, a new pair of shoes is stolen from the entrance to their house while MICHIYO is at a class reunion. HATSUNOSUKE and SATOKO were both home at the time, and MICHIYO's imagination begins to run wild when she sees a blanket spread out upstairs. MICHIYO reaches the breaking point when she finds out that SATOKO has been running around with a boy in the neighborhood. She reprimands SATOKO severely and decides it is time to take her back to Tokyo. MICHIYO makes up her mind to stay in Tokyo and look for a job rather than return home to HATSUNOSUKE and the unbearable atmosphere she left behind. However, when her cousin, TAKENAKA KAZUO, suggests they take a trip together, her thoughts turn to HATSUNOSUKE and she refuses KAZUO's advances. She finally realizes that she belongs with HATSUNOSUKE when she learns that KAZUO has started seeing SATOKO. HATSUNOSUKE comes to Tokyo and MICHIYO returns home with him. They resume their ordinary but familiar life in Osaka NOTES: The film is based on the unfinished last work of the popular writer, HAYASHI FUMIKO. The producer, FUJIMOTO SANEZUMI, appointed IDE TOSHIRO and TANAKA SUMIE to complete the story as a screenplay. IDE's refined dramatic composition and TANAKA's precise description of a woman's inner feelings blend well with the director, NARUSE MIKIO's powerful psychological delineation. "A Married Life" is an excellent example of NARUSE's ability to reveal the poignancy which lies beneath the surface of everyday life. NARUSE emerged from a 16 year slump with the success of this film and went on to become Japan's most popular director of films for women. (Kinema Jumpo #2) Meshi © 1951 Toho.

Tetsuo, her son: Ito Takashi Kimura Shokichi: Kato Daisuke Hirai Shinjiro: Okada Eiji Synopsis: The Fukuhara family is working hard to recover after the destruction of WW II. Trying to rebuild their old dry cleaning business, the father, Ryosaku, works as a factory guard, the mother, Masako, sells candies at an outdoor stall, and even the eldest daughter, Toshiko, joins in, vending candies and ice cream on the street. But life is just as difficult even after they reopen their cleaning business. The eldest son, Susumu, suffering from tuberculosis, flees his treatment clinic to see his mother and dies soon afterwards. Ryosaku collapses from overwork and has to hire an old associate, Kimura, to help out. 3 Del 25 de julio al 6 de agosto 2017 en Cineteca Nacional Retrospectiva de Mikio Naruse Ryosaku remains in bed while his daughters Toshiko and Hisako go to the local festival with their cousin Tetsuo, who is in the Fukuhara's care while his mother Noriko trains to be a hairdresser. Refusing to go to the hospital for lack of funds, however, Ryosake soon dies and Masako finds herself now in charge of both the famliy and the business. Her relatives, themselves childless, offer to help by adopting Hisako. Feeling that it might be one of their last chances together, Toshiko takes Hisako and Tetsuo on a picnic with her boyfriend Shinjiro, but is disturbed when he tells her of rumors making insinuations about her mother and Kimura. The rumors are false, but Masako often does rely on Kimura for his cleaning skills and tact in dealing with customers. After a final family outing, Hisako leaves the Fukuhara family. Kimura, with plans for his own business, also bids his farewell. With Tetsuo's mother passing her licensing exam and talk of Toshiko marrying Shinjiro already in the air, Masako may soon find herself alone. She soon hires an apprentice, but Toshiko, concerned for her mother who worked so hard for her children, wonders if she is really happy. Notes: Loosely based on a collection of essays by grade school students about their mothers, Mother focuses on the image of one mother and her family attempting to recover from the destruction of WW II. While verging on the sentimental, Naruse's direction is remarkably restrained compared to the tear-jerker "mother pictures" made at the time. Working from the script by Mizuki Yoko, Japan's top woman screenwriter, he elides the potentially more dramatic events - such as the death scenes - so as to draw out a more episodic, slice-of-life portrait of an average Japanese mother and the struggles she must face in the postwar era. okaasan© Toho.

They are half brother and sisters one another from the same mother. One day, NUIKO and her husband introduce a baker TSUNAKICHI to KIYOKO as her prospective husband, but their real intention is to take advantage of 5 Del 25 de julio al 6 de agosto 2017 en Cineteca Nacional Retrospectiva de Mikio Naruse TSUNAKICHI who is good at money-making. KIYOKO knows that and cannot stand the idea. MITSUKO's husband dies suddenly. Upon his death, it is revealed that he has kept a mistress and even had a child. Learning about it, MITSUKO starts working at a love hotel TSUNAKICHI manages, to where NUIKO invites herself to move in with TSUNAKICHI, behaving as if she were his wife. On the other hand, RYUZO, NUIKO's shiftless husband, comes to stay with KIYOKO and Mother. TSUNAKICHI makes a pass at KIYOKO, but is refused. Out of frustration, he messes up a possible job opportunity for brother KASUKE. KIYOKO, no longer bearable, leaves home and lives alone in a boarding house, where she tastes the human life as it should be as she comes in contact with KUNIMUNE and his sister who live next door to her. MITSUKO opens a coffee shop with the insurance money she received upon her husband's death, and TSUNAKICHI frequents there and acts as if he were her husband. OSEI, Mother, visits with KIYOKO one night and tells her that MITSUKO has vanished due to the eternal triangle among MITSUKO, NUIKO and TSUNAKICHI. KIYOKO comforts her and hands her the precious hoard of money she has saved. NOTES: Authoress HAYASHI FUMIKO fondly wrote about the life of people living in the downtown area of Tokyo, and director NARUSE MIKIO made many of her stories into motion pictures and established his own fixed style. This particular film is one of his such films. The mother is sluttish as the fathers of her son and three daughters are all different men, but she herself does not think it slatternly. Instead, she remembers each man who fathered her children with fond memories.

  • Japan Foundation Supported Project Mikio Naruse Season at the BFI Southbank
    Japan Foundation Supported Project Mikio Naruse Season at the BFI Southbank Date: 29 June – 31 July 2007 Venue: BFI Southbank, London In Japan Naruse Mikio (1905-69) is considered to be a master of the cinema and revered as much as Mizoguchi and Ozu, yet his films are largely unknown here in the UK. The season of Naruse's greatest films that showed at the British Film Institute from 29 June – 31 July 2007 was therefore an exciting and invaluable experience. Naruse's films display a unique, pure dramatic and visual sensibility and are often poignant tales of working-class life concentrating, notably, on female characters who are both trapped by, and struggling against, social and familial mores. Naruse portrays women in a realistic way and seems to understand them and their role in modern society. Naruse's films are similar to those of Ozu, in particular the world of Tokyo Story but his trajectory and scope go beyond that of even Ozu's, for they go to the still centre of the turning world in depicting with empathy the lives of ordinary women in 50s’ Tokyo. His Tokyo is both emblematic of the miracle of post-war reconstruction and a reminder of the sad, tragic and non-distant past. In this retrospective of Naruse's films, many are depictions of this Tokyo. In particular the film Ginza Cosmetics (1951), in which Tanaka Kinuyo is sensational as a fading bar hostess in the Ginza District of Tokyo, nearing middle-age and unable to spend time with her son. It is a key post-war Japanese film and is essential viewing.

  • Hideko Takamine
    Hideko Takamine By Ron Holloway Spring 1994 Issue of KINEMA AT SEVENTY, she’s Japan’s greatest living actress, often compared to Mary Pickford, but more like a Katherine Hepburn for the range of her talent and commanding presence of the screen -- Hideko Takamine. Despite being recognized as a screen immortal in Japan, only a handful of her more than three hundred film appearances are known in the United States, due to the tragic destruction of the Japanese filmarchives during the war. Thus she’s known in the West mostly by her postwar films, made during that last great period of Japanese cinema of the 1950s and early 1960s, after which television was to replace moviegoing as the population’s favourite form of entertainment. Rather late in her career, Takamine did venture into television, but was never satisfied with the results. Finally, in 1979, deciding that the new medium was not for her, she gracefully took leave of the screen to enjoy for the first time in five decades the pleasures of a private life. When at the last Tokyo Film Festival I asked to interview her, Japanese critics told me that such was impossible: ”She just doesn’t give interviews.” But a mutual friend, film historian Akira Shimizu, intervened on my behalf for a casual meeting, which was arranged one afternoon at the International House. To put the record straight, Hideko Takamine has been interviewed at length by American journalist Phyllis Birnbaum for a ”Profile” published in New Yorker in November of 1990. Moreover, her key postwar films -- made together with Mikio Naruse, one of her two favourite directors -- were programmed by American film historian Audie E.
