Feeling all but defeated after a number of failed attempts at leisure, Yuzo turns to conducting an imaginary orchestra, to little avail. Stylistically daring, with the seeds of Kurosawa's later work evident, this was his first and only foray into shomin-geki, the 1930s-40s Japanese drama of the common man. [More]

It's a carefully composed, elegant, sometimes prescient work, a small-scale love story set against a background of tumultuous social and political change.

It's a 'little people' comedy in the Frank Capra vein

It's like looking for footprints, tracking the master this apprentice was to become.
