Review of Early Summer (1951) by Robert P — 14 Jan 2008
Low key and a bit diffcilt to engage with. In places the film seemed drenched in artifice and pretense, particularly in some of the acting. Littel in the way of dramatic tension and plot, but a strangely powerful and off beat social document of family life and generational conflict in Japan.
A slice of life rather than a strong story, the sheer volume of interior shots give s the whole thing a claustrophobic feel.
