Kyô mo mata kakute ari nan

I won't review, or describe the plot, per se, but wanted to at least put down some addendum comments: Yoshiko Kuga is notable for a number of A-list and B-list films and performances. This film may not reach the pinnacle of an A-list Art film but it is one of my favorites, one that I often revisit. Yes there are a number of plot lines, perhaps awkwardly juxtaposed, but for me there is, at its core, an emotional and humanistic authenticity. I do wish there was more biographical data, and More Celebration of the actors from this "golden" era of Japanese film ... so many performances that resonate, and leave an indelible mark. I even love the, basically, cameo, performance by Rentaro Mikuni as the brutal thug. ... just a few thoughts to add to the notes on this film
