Rarely Seen Gems of Japanese Cinema

Growing Up

Takekurabe
Japan | 1955 | Heinosuke Gosho

The late, great Isuzu Yamada (Lady Macbeth in Throne of Blood) stars in this beautifully photographed major work by Japan's prolific but criminally undershown movie master Heinosuke Gosho. It follows a young girl doomed to a life of prostitution as she slowly comprehends her unfortunate fate. Ann Sherif of Oberlin College will introduce the film and lead a post-film discussion.

95 min. 16mm. Subtitles. CWRU I.D. holders $7.
