Richard Whitehall Los Angeles Free Press No other contemporary director makes fuller use of pictorial symbolism, the use of inserts and close-ups of inanimate objects, to reinforce the psychological undertow of his movies than [Heinosuke] Gosho. Feb 3, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Virgo V Where Chimneys Are Seen (Entotsu no mieru basho), also titled Four Chimneys, is a 1953 Japanese comedy-drama film directed by Heinosuke Gosho. It is based on the novel Mujaki na hitobito by Rinzō Shiina. It stars Ken Uehara, Kinuyo Tanaka and Hideko Takamine. It was distributed by Shintoho Company Limited. Vision wrote: “more like a depiction of the balance between living and loving where a man must decide to live with his wife and another man’s child and at the same time to love the wife while bearing another man’s child. Aspiration and despair play a pivotal role in the premise of the film but war has nothing to do with it. It’s more about sacrifice and duty than obligation and demise. Two and a half fries!” Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/02/25 Full Review Read all reviews
