1940-49: THE DECADE ACCORDING TO KENJI

A strong decade for UK, it seems not so much for world cinema beyond Anglophone films, largely due to WW2 (if not my ignorance), so lots of famous “classics” here, not very many hidden treasures sorry. List in preferential order.

The 1940s wasn’t a strong decade for Mizoguchi or Japan but by all accounts 2 lost films by Mizoguchi- Woman of Osaka and Life of an Actor- were excellent.
