Country: Japan
Language: Japanese
Subtitles: English
Genre: Drama
Director: Mikio Naruse
Cast: Chikako Hosokawa, Masako Tsutsumi, Ryuko Umezono, Chitose Hayashi, Chisato Matsumoto
Plot/Sypnosis:
Three Sisters with Maiden Hearts, writer-director Mikio Naruse’s first sound film, tells the story of three very different siblings forced to work as samisen street musicians to make ends meet. O-Ren, the eldest, is on a downward spiral into Tokyo’s Asakusa district underworld, exasperated middle sister O-Some attempts to protect her sisters by appeasing their demanding mother Hahaoya, and Chieko, the youngest, pursues love and romance with kindly restaurateur Aoyama. Three Sisters is one of Naruse’s most formally experimental works, making use of an intricate, yet playful flashback structure and a fluid, constantly moving camera to delineate the sisters’ varying paths through life. Chieko’s Folies Bergere-like dance numbers are a particular highlight, demonstrating Naruse’s affinity with and understanding of the psychology of performance. And even at a relatively brief 76 minutes, it feels as if Three Sisters explores a lifetime of heartache and tragedy, culminating in a wrenching train station climax where O-some makes the ultimate sacrifice to preserve a complicated sense of familial status quo.
