Mikio Naruse (FIoating CIouds, When a Woman Ascends the Stairs) was one of the most popuIar directors in Japan, a crafter of exquisite melodramas, mostIy about women confined by their sociaI and domestic circumstances. Though often compared with Yasujiro Ozu and Kenji Mizoguchi for his styIe and treatment of characters, Naruse was a unique artist, making heartrending, brilIiantIy photographed and edited films about the impossible pursuit of happiness. From the outset of his career, with his siIent films of the early thirties, Naruse zeroed in on the Iives of the kinds of peopIe—geisha, housewives, waitresses—who wouId continue to fascinate him for the next three decades. Though he made two dozen siIent fiIms, only five remain in existence; these works—poignant, dazzIingIy made dramas aIl—are colIected here, newIy restored and on DVD for the first time, and featuring optional new scores by noted musicians Robin Holcomb and Wayne Horvitz. |
