JFF 2023 Presents: Mikio Naruse - An Unsung Master of Japanese Cinema

The Japanese Film Festival 2023 proudly presents this FREE series of rare 35mm film screenings of master filmmaker Mikio Naruse’s works at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, Melbourne.
The films featured in the series shine a light on Naruse’s poignant observation of the growing tension surrounding familial and societal conformities in a changing, post-war era of Japan–a theme that pervades the director’s remarkably crafted body of work.

From the 3rd- 5th December the ACMI in Melbourne will screen Naruse's films:

• Floating Clouds
• Sold out Sound of the Mountain
• Sold out When a Woman Ascends the Stairs
• Yearning

Don't miss this chance to see these rare and masterful films on the big screen! Reserve your FREE tickets on the JFF website

    I concur. There's something about shomingeki films that resonates with me

      These "common people drama" films certainly resonated with the older female audience last 2 weeks in Brisbane. And with me.

      Enjoyed some interesting discussions afterwards. When a man asked me about the more Western style musical score, I admitted I hadn't noticed - focusing on the amazing interactions between characters.

      A lot can be said without words, with the turn of the head. A crafted work of this Master.

      Some of the street scenes have hardly changed - in some rural villages. And the male dominant culture / tradition is still very evident there.

      The journey from Kagoshima to Yakushima in "Floating Clouds" reminded me of my own trip - hiking in the mountains on that island years ago.
      Fortunately my experience was amazing, with no rain, & no tragic ending…
