About this product

Product Information

Acclaimed Japanese director Mikio Naruse's career spanned from the end of the silent era through to the sixties, producing 89 films. His work is imbued with the bleak cynicism associated with shomin-geki (working-class drama), yet the struggle for a life better than the one dealt by fate, is celebrated with dignified restraint. This release features three beautiful melodramas all of which have become regarded as masterpieces of world cinema. WHEN A WOMAN ASCENDS THE STAIRS (1960), FLOATING CLOUDS (1955) and LATE CHRYSANTHEMUMS (1958) all feature women as the main protagonists and offer an interesting contrast between the traditional and modern Japanese culture.

A worthwhile BFI collection with added features that enhance the package and emphasize Naruse's status as a director.
The three films here are great examples of the work of Mikio Naruse, an important but somewhat neglected director of post-war Japanese cinema. The three films in this set provide a wide perspective on his work, that align him with, but distinguish his work from the films of Ozu and Mizoguchi.
