Apart From You (1933)
Written and directed
by Mikio Naruse this film stars Mitsuko Yoshikawa, Akio Isono and
Sumiko Mizukubo. An ageing geisha has a son that is ashamed of her
profession and is acting up, one of her younger colleagues try to
help him understand.
The plot of this film
is pretty average and one of so many from Japan about the sex trade
that I have seen lately. You could see this film as a sequel to
Every-Night Dreams (1933) but there is not a lot connecting there.
There are a couple of moments of directorial flair but not enough to
make the film stand out really.
3/5
