Woman of Tokyo/ Ozu/ 1933/ 45 mins/ subtitles/ 12


Chikako works day and night to pay for her young brother, Ryoichi’s, university expenses. As the wage from her office job does not cover the costs, Chikako also works as a prostitute during the night, which Ryoichi is unaware of. When his girlfriend, whose brother is a policeman, finds out about Chikako's double life the situation spirals out of control.

Heightened emotions, sideways glances and strong shadows, drive the emotional and expressive weight in these Japanese melodramas
