Overview

Yoshida’s first big-budget production and colour film is a haunting tale of unrequited love and postwar disillusion. The story of the fatal attraction between a spineless intellectual and a strong woman is conventional, but its enactment is radically new.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A haunting postwar reverie about two damaged people drawn together in a hot spring, where attraction masks incompatibility and time itself becomes the story's true antagonist. Yoshida's colour cinematography transforms intimate emotional dissolution into something almost lyrical.
