      william d I like many of Naruse's films, but I didn't much care for this one. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The second-best Ginza-bar-hostess story films I've seen. One of Naruse's early 'female compassion' films, which he would later make his most revisted genre. Silent Japanese films did something completely the opposite of American silents: lack the overacting and stick to emotions in subtleties. But even with the lack of expressiveness in actions and obvious lack of speech, the movie still packs in the depth and sadness that so many sound movies can't achieve. Naruse would later revisit a Ginza bar hostess story, and would become one of his most famous and most critical successes in "When A Woman Ascends The Stairs". Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member This is Naruse in his most technically audacious. You must understand that, in the 30's, frenetic editing, minimalist tracking shots and random noirish shadows were meant to enhance hidden psychological layers and unspoken thoughts. Blame the movie for its simplicity; that won't stop the fact that the director was growing and Yogoto no Yume is the first proof he used for himself to be proven as a powerful drama storyteller. 95/100 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved, loved, LOVED this film! This began my love affair with Naruse's women. So smart, so modern and so clever these women show how to be powerful and strong while still women who love and are not overly sexual. I loved the main character. The only flaw in this film is the fact it is totally silent... and the quick, epic zoom ins, but they were awesome. And a cute kid to boot!

      Keith Uhlich Slant Magazine Somewhat stylistically unhinged, yet the constant push-ins and frenetic cutting feel more to the psychological point than comparitvely showier Naruse works from the '30s. Rated: 4/4 Mar 21, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews
