The Moon Has Risen

Japan 1955 | 102 minutes | Japanese | Hebrew, English subtitles

Nara, Japan. Three sisters live with their father, experiencing romantic entanglement, which somehow is further complicated by the presence of the youngest sister. Based on an unused Ozu script gifted to Tanaka, this enchanting romantic drama holds a flowing narrative, a beautiful understanding of the weaknesses of the heart, and restrained camerawork. The female perspective adds to the film's kindness and empathy.
