william d @acsdoug 11/29/2021 I didn't find the story to be particularly interesting. See more 12/16/2013 Family burdens laid thick, then lightened--A lovely film!! See more 12/23/2011 As a heightened melodramatic plot takes place around her, Hideko Takamine is the rather still, but clearly discontented, center of the picture. She has three half-siblings all from different fathers and none of them have adapted well to post-war Japan, either unable or unwilling to function or too shrewd and manipulative for their own good. Takamine seems to find a separate peace, but Naruse hints that this might not actually be allowable. As in his other films, it seems possible to lose oneself in the world and relationships created here. See more 11/26/2010 I don't know about this movie; in hindsight I think it was good, but at the time I remember disliking it. That was because it had SO MANY CHARACTERS!!! Too many in fact, and I couldn't figure them all out! Which may have been why I didn't like this. Also, I don't know if I like Hideko Takamine... I can't read her... unlike Hara!
