Mikio Naruse Collection 3-DVD Set ( Ukigumo / Onna ga kaidan wo agaru toki / Bangiku ) ( Floating Clouds / When a Woman Ascends the Stairs / Late Chrysanthemums ) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - United Kingdom ]
The BFI presents three of Mikio Naruse’s finest films, now regarded as among world cinema’s greatest achievements.
- Every Night Dreams (1933) Only five of Naruse’s silent pictures have survived (handily collected in a single DVD edition by Criterion’s Eclipse imprint in the US), all much more stylistically dynamic than his better known later works.
- Wife! Be like a Rose! (1935) One of the earliest Japanese films to achieve critical attention in the west (it had a short run at New York’s Filmarte Theatre in 1937), Wife!
- Late Chrysanthemums (1954) One of the most exquisitely realised of all Naruse’s ‘women’s pictures’, Late Chrysanthemums eschews any driving narrative force for a stunningly nuanced study of emotional and economic complexities, rooted firmly in the quotidian dynamics of the present.
- Floating Clouds (1955) Despite being his most acclaimed and well-known film in Japan – it’s ranked by Kinema Junpo as the third greatest Japanese film of all time, behind Tokyo Story (1953) and Seven Samurai (1954) – Naruse’s gut-wrenching masterpiece is something of an anomaly in his filmography.
