About
Twenty-four Eyes

A quite exquisite film from a great year in Japanese cinema which saw the release, amongst others, of Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, Mizoguchi's Sansho The Bailiff and The Crucified Lovers, and Naruse's Late Chrysanthemums and The Thunder Of The Mountain. However, it was Kinoshita's charming and moving film which won the prestigious award for Best Film of 1954 from the influential Kinema Junpo magazine.
