Yearning (1964) – M. Naruse
A melodrama of
forbidden love from Mikio Naruse. Starting mundanely in a small shop being run
out of business by a viciously competitive supermarket, the plot takes a hook
turn from post-war family drama into more dangerous terrain. Stock characters
take on new emotional dimensions and embark on a long (train) journey into the
unknown, where anything might be possible if only society's shackles could be
loosened.
