| Brief Description: | An unusual feminist epic saga which focuses on a charming, talented
and self-absorbed Japanese woman, Yukie, who is preparing herself for
the role of a spoiled, cultured wife. She flirts with two suitors, one
a disaffected leftist, the other a right-wing careerist, though she
has no personal interest in politics.
The earliest personal and first great film by Kurosawa, with a commanding performance by Setsuko Hara as the complex woman whose life unfolds against the backdrop of Japanese militarist society. Japanese with English subtitles. |
