In the identical yr that noticed the discharge of Godzilla, the very same cinematography crew from that movie helped Mikio Naruse on Sound of the Mountain. Naruse, a significant determine in Japans ‘golden age of cinema’ portrayed ladies in a way more central function and nuanced mild than his contemporaries and is likely one of the first administrators who challenged the gender norms of Japanese society in a time when barely anybody would have known as themselves a feminist.
Sound of the Mountain is a robust character-driven story with Setsuko Hara within the lead, following her navigating via household ethics and seeing how fragile the bonds of relationships might be.
