Several years ago, Film Forum here in NYC ran a very impressive Naruse retrospective. I saw 34 of the 35 pictures (in the course of four or five weeks) and loved nearly all of them. Believe it or not, even after seeing that many of his pictures in such a short time, I was sorry to see the series end.
It’s a crying shame that only one of his movies is available on DVD in the US, but then again, they really are best experienced in a theatre.
Favorite underseen/unknown directors about 3 years ago
