The post Kazuo Mori – Suzakumon AKA Love of the Princess (1957) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

This is the second of three major film adaptation of Junichiro Tanizaki’s famous novel from the 1940s, the first one being the 1950 version directed by Yutaka Abe, the latter one being Kon Ichikawa’s The Makioka Sisters from 1983. Shima’s version stars Machiko Kyo, Fujiko Yamamoto, Junko Kano and Yukiko Todoroki in the roles of the sisters. The novel (and the films) follow the lives of the wealthy Makioka family of Osaka from the autumn of 1936 to April 1941, focusing on the family’s attempts to find a husband for the third sister, Yukiko. It depicts the decline of the family’s upper-middle-class, suburban lifestyle as the specter of World War II and Allied Occupation hangs over the novel.

The post Yasuzô Masumura – Hyoheki AKA The Precipice (1958) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Period action/melodrama. In 1840, retainers of the Tokugawa Shoganate harshly compete with each other in deciding the successor of the 14th Shogun Iemochi. Among them is Lord Nakano, known as the Baron of Mukōjima. To establish his grandson, Inuchiyo, as the most promising candidate, he makes efforts to get the official permission from Ienari, a retired Shogun, but who is still seizing power in place of sickly Iemochi. For Nakano, the most reliable underling is his daughter-in-law, Lady Omiyo, who has long been gaining Ienari’s favor. But not only because Ienari has problems in his health for his age, but because Omiyo’s servant, Tomi, is indeed a spy sent by Shimada Matazaemon, the rival of Nakano, he cannot advance the scario as he originally planned. One day, the local doctor Ryōan is called by Ienari’s harem to see Kikugawa, an old and noble waiting woman. Ryōan finds Kikugawa pregnant, but not before long, both the doctor and patient are secretly killed by Nakano’s order since in the harem no men except Ienari are allowed to get inside. It must evoke a big sensation if Kikugawa’s pregnancy becomes known. Meanwhile, Ienari goes into a coma induced by stroke. Worried about losing his backup, Nakano fakes up Ienari’s official permission by forcing him to sign his name. At the moment everything seems to end successfully, Nakano abruptly suffers an assault by Shin’nozuke, a friend of Ryōan, as well as the nephew of his rival Shimada. Because of Shin’nozuke’s brave act, the official permission that guarantees Inuchiyo’s accession to the throne is called off this time. However, this is not the end, but the beginning of more heated power struggles between Nakano and Shīma, which would be depicted in the sequel to this film. but, this film was never made.
