Quote:
When a naïve young man (Shinichi Tsutsumi) and his lazy best friend attempt to rob a bank, they find another robber has beaten them to the punch. After the original robber and the best friend are killed the young man serendipitously gets the 80 million yen. But when he accidentally stabs an innocent hairdresser, a cause-and-effect situation quickly spirals out of control. Meanwhile, a trio of yakuza mistakenly kill a powerful mob boss. As their paths continue to cross, the story displays some interesting parallels about just-out-of-reach redemption and the unlikelihood of atoning for one’s sins, all delivered in a black comedy package.

Quote:
Lost for 70 years until 2022, Shimizu’s second postwar film recalls Mr. Thank You as he frames the narrative in a familiar setting, tracking an autumnal bus ride from a hot spring town through a mountain pass. When the jaunty bus unceremoniously breaks down, a bittersweet sadness overcomes the passengers as unexpected reunions take place, but nothing can be what it was before the war.

Quote:
Michio Segawa, whose father is a water bus driver, lives with his father since his mother died, but he doesn’t feel lonely because he has a beloved carrier pigeon called Dede. Soon, Michio gets a new mother. His new mother brings along her younger sister, Emiko. The house suddenly becomes lively, and Michio’s mother is kind to him, but Michio feels strange. When Emiko is on his father’s lap, he can no longer go to his father to get his gloves fixed right away when they get torn, as he used to do. His father also scolds him strangely. At times like that, Michio goes to the tofu shop in front of their house and is treated to a meal. When Emiko brags about the donuts her mother made and praises her mother, Michio thinks that his previous mother was much better. Whenever Michio saw Dede, the pigeon that his mother had given him and that was now just a keepsake, he couldn’t help the pain in his heart. One day, when Michio came home from school, he found that Dede the pigeon had disappeared from its nest box. In a frenzy, Michio ran out of the house to find his precious Dede. That night, his father, mother, and the man at the tofu shop made a big fuss searching for Michio, who had gone missing. Fortunately, they found that Michio had been safely taken care of by the police. His father went out alone to pick him up. On the night path home, Michio was happy to walk alone with his father for the first time in a long time. Father and son walked and talked under the starry sky. When his father asked Michio, “Don’t you think it would have been better if Mom hadn’t come?” Michio now answered clearly, “I don’t think so.”

The post Hiroshi Shimizu – Haha no omokage AKA Image of a Mother (1959) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

The movie focuses on the plight of ten war orphans hailing from different cities across Japan. With nowhere to go, they scavenge around train stations, scratching out an existence by means of black market work for a one-legged tramp whilst avoiding being picked up by the police for vagrancy. Soon however, they find a more inspiring role model in the figure of a nameless soldier just repatriated after the war. An orphan himself, the soldier also has no home to return to, and so sets out across the country with the kids in tow in search of work before settling on the goal of leading them to the orphanage where he himself grew up.
