Japan in Cannes

[Michael Kerpan]

Is a plot device a theme -- and are great movies all about "themes", in any event.
 
Naruse may already have made a movie thart covered this territory, but his 1949 "Furyo shojo" is lost. ;~}

I was afraid someone would try to read into my disinterest concerns about cultural ownership. Nothing to do with “Japanese-ness” or anything of the sort. If Naruse rose from the grave and decided to do a similarly themed film, I would have a similar response. Although I’d excuse him because it’s likely he hasn’t been keeping up with current events.
