Yeah I mention Naruse as the 'fourth master' but try to emphasize he was from the classic period which I would consider the 1930's to 1950's; i.e. filmmakers who started making films in that period. While Yoshida, Imamura, Ichikawa and Oshima I would consider maybe a post classic period. Of course Kurosawa sort of straddles the two eras.<br /><br />But I will indeed seek out Yoshida's films. I've only seen one and it was without subtitles.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04977662030208589392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10200860.post-92045867106343737382010-08-23T07:48:14.129-07:002010-08-23T07:48:14.129-07:00I actually "discovered" Naruse, Matt, fo...I actually "discovered" Naruse, Matt, four years ago during a wonderfully comprehensive Film Forum retrospective of his work in Manhattan, where I managed 19 of the films offered including the film you review here. It's certainly one of his masterworks, along with FLOATING CLOUDS, REPAST, WOMEN WHO ASCENDS THE STAIRS, LATE CHRYSANTHEMUMS, and one or two others.<br /><br />-Sam Juliano<br /><br /> I also at that time thought Naruse the fourth Japanese master, but have since discovered Yoshida, who truthfully surges ahead of all of them, save for Ozu and Mizoguchi.<br /><br /> Terrific review-wonderful blogsite!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
