Apart from You - 1933 - Mikio Naruse


Naruse was a genius who was interested in and concerned by the lives of women in the Japan of his era. There's a huge amount of compassion toward the plight of women and the dilemmas they face.

In this film, a teenage boy struggles with the fact that his mom is a geisha. Basically, everything Naruse did was interesting.
