Late Chrysanthemums
(1954)
Directed by Mikio
Naruse this film stars Haruko Sugimura, Chikako Hosokawa and Yuuko
Mochizuki. Middle aged women that used to be geisha struggle with
their different situations in life.
Returning to one of
this favourite subjects I am not sure that Naruse has as much to say
here as some of his other films on sex work but it is still a pretty
interesting story. Life after being a sex worker gets little
attention so in that regard this is some what unusual. At times it
felt like the film dragged a little and it was more a study of
contrasts than a deep exploration of it's subject matter but it was
still not a bad watch.
3/5
