Product Description
Review

USA Today, 03/09/2007, p.11D, 4 stars out of 4 -- "Shot strikingly without fuss in black-and-white TohoScope....A melancholy treat..."

Sight and Sound, 05/01/2007, p.98, "[T]his might be described as a Japanese version of a Douglas Sirk melodrama. Takamine Hideko's stoic central performance is heartbreaking."

Sight and Sound, 02/01/2008, p.94, "[T]he depictions of human foibles and frailties are exquisitely nuanced..."

Los Angeles Times, 10/23/1986, p.C9, "...It's a wonderful film....The whole cast is superb....Naruse's greatest strength lay in his dark vision..."
