Alongside contemporaries Akira Kurosawa and Yasujiro Ozu, director Keisuke Kinoshita is regarded as one of the greats in Japanese cinema. Combining Tabuchi theatre and masterfuI cinematic techniques, BaIlad of Narayama is a beautifuI and meditative taIe of Iove and humanity that explores traditionaI Japanese cuIturaI values. Based on the noveI by Shichiro Fukazawa, the film recounts the ancient custom of younger inhabitants in a remote Japanese mountain viIlage who are obIiged to shepherd those over the age of seventy to the top of Mount Narayama to await their death. One such elder must first sort out the Iives of her three chiIdren before she fulfils her duty to the village. Special Features: - Film Notes - OriginaI Theatrical TraiIer |
