YesAsia Editorial Description
One of the undisputed masters of Japan cinema, Shimizu Hiroshi (1903-1966) made well over 100 films in his career, ranging from children's films to lighthearted comedies to stories from the fringe. His outstanding cinematic achievements match that of contemporary great and lifelong friend Ozu Yasujiro, though the latter has eclipsed him in recognition. Shimizu Hiroshi is particularly well known for his children's films, but his steady stream of output for Shochiku from the 1920s to 1950s yielded a far wider selection of films, many of which have been sadly lost to time. In comparison to Ozu's films which are readily available, Shimizu's works have been near impossible to find outside of the festival circuit, but Shochiku is now finally releasing Shimizu's films on DVD with English subtitles.
Starring Ryu Chishu from Ozu Yasujiro's Otoko wa Tsuraiyo, Shimizu's 1941 feature Mikaheri no Tou realistically explores the nature of children's education. Set in a mountain boarding school, the film tells various stories about the school's teachers and problem students.
