Times are tough in the Japan of 1918. A shopkeeper and his wife, having just opened up a new store, require protection from Boss Onimasa, if their business is to survive. Unfortunately, they have no money to offer him. On the other hand, they have plenty of children. When Onimasa arrives, however, he is less impressed with the boy they offer him than he is with their daughter, Matsue. He takes them both, but only Matsue is strong enough to withstand estrangement from her family and the rigors of yakuza life.

Slide show on Raphael’s drawings, produced for the Grand Palais.

A film that begins with: “The Madonnas of the Comberian period still have a very Peruginesque layout” can only belong on this blog, and so much the worse if it is an improbable film without credits and practically without trace. An order that didn’t come through? Notes for a future film? A personal exercise? We don’t really know. In any case, here is our Rohmer in ecstasy in front of Raphael’s sketches, filming them head-on in an attempt to bring out their construction, evolution and beauty.
