A 1967 Japanese drama so obscure, even the internet forgot to rate it.
Cinematography
Shadow-drenched frames that scream mid-century Japanese neo-realism.
Acting
Mariko Kaga's presence alone justifies the runtime.
Director
Junzō Mizukawa
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Junzō Mizukawa vanished from film history after this; no confirmed credits exist before or after 1967.
