Every-Night Dreams
(1933)
Directed by Mikio
Naruse this film stars Sumiko Kurishima, Tatsuo Saito, Teruko Kojima
and Jun Arai. A single mother struggles to raise her son and is
surprised by the return of his father.
This is a pretty
standard tale of poverty and desperation set during Depression-era
Japan. The story runs for barely an hour but works pretty well even
if it lacks some depth. Where the film does stand out is in some
interesting use of camera and editing for key moments in the film
which are unusual in a silent film.
3/5
