Furyo Shojo / Naruse

[Alexander Jacoby]

I'm not sure what she means by describing "Shonenki" as a "flesh movie". As I recall from seeing it at the Japan Foundation four or five years ago, it was a very earnest story about a boy - the son of a liberal father - growing up during the war. It's quite heartfelt and doesn't feel like a commercial chore at all.

Dear all,

Is  Naruse's 'Furyo shojo' (1949) considered to be a lost movie ?
According to Audie Bock's book on Naruse both negative & dupe positive are lost,
same goes for the screenplay. This was written in 1983 .. maybe there have been
news since?

In the same book, there's mention of 'flesh' movies made by 'masters' in the 50s
such as Kinoshita's Shonen-ki & Toyoda's Haru no sasayaki .. is there any others
similar 'commercial' sex-oriented movies made by 'famous' directors?


thanks!
