Critic Reviews

Anthony Quinn, Independent
It's also elegantly shot and scored; all that's missing is a touch of humour.

, Total Film
A heartbreaker.

Tom Robey, Daily Telegraph
Sprint, don't walk, up those BFI steps to see it.
-
Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK]
The new retrospective of Mikio Naruse at London's BFI Southbank will do much to restore the reputation of a neglected Japanese director, and this 1960 film is a heartbreaking study, to be compared with Mizoguchi's Life of Oharu.
-
Wendy Ide, Times [UK]
Shot in luminous black and white cinemascope, this is an exquisitely understated study of the plight of a young woman in an unforgiving society.
