Yellowfur D Belated love is like a flower, short-lived and painful. Sometimes, I feel that the beauty of old movies lies not in the story but in the rhythm. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/18/23 Full Review william d A loser couple try to survive postwar Japan. He treats her like crap but she keeps coming back for more. It's a train wreck, but I kept watching because I wanted to see what would happen next. I did feel the ending was a bit telegraphed though. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member beautiful melancholy(saudade) Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member A woman and a man married to someone else meet up again after World War II. The woman hopes to maybe rekindle their past affair. At first you think this is going to be bittersweet romantic film about two lovers who can never be together but as the film goes on, it becomes more and more bitter than sweet and goes into all surprising directions. Someone described this film to me as "anti-romance". I can see how it is. If it was made today, the film feels like it's giving the middle finger to Nicholas Sparks and his ilk. The soapy, romantic elements are often undercut by the darker aspects of the story. It's a compelling, surprising film that will probably illicit strong reactions. This is my second film from director Mikio Naruse. I will exploring more from his filmography soon.

Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member I just saw this and was moved by certain moments and confused by others. Maybe when I sort it out in my mind later I would like it better, like how it happened with WHEN A WOMAN ASCENDS THE STAIRS.
