Hisako Miyoshi

One of the earliest Japanese cop films following a mysterious killing on the last train to Mitaka, Tokyo.

This film focuses on Koreans living in Japan. The filmmaker’s humanism comes across in the portrayal of a girl living in a shabby tenement, the warmth of a Korean girl she meets, and the friendliness of this Korean girl’s family.

Adaptation of Fumiko Hayashi's novel.
