5. Review: Sudden Rain (1956) - Toho Kingdom
20 feb 2017 · As is common with Naruse, the story concerns a passionless marriage. The husband, Ryotaro Namiki (Shuji Sano), works in the sales department of ...
Following his viscerally draining masterpiece Floating Clouds (1955), the pessimistic director Mikio Naruse turned to a story by Kunio Kishida (screenplay adaptation by Yoko Mizuki) and created a film that is both a comedy of manners and a cynical portrait of a marriage fated for disintegration. The film also marked his third collaboration with the renowned actress Setsuko Hara, who previously acted for him in Repast (1951) and Sound of the Mountain (1954). And while Sudden Rain, the picture under discussion, is not on the same tier as any of the films mentioned above—then again, that’s an incredibly high standard to match—it is still an immensely engrossing screen story and a must-see for anyone interested in this director’s canon.
