거장 구로사와 감독의 초기 수작으로 일본 전후 사회의 매우 리얼한 풍경 묘사는 물론 범죄 수사과정을 하나부터 열까지 꼼꼼하게 좇아가는 치밀함을 느낄 수 있는 정통 형사물이다. 각본가 기쿠시마 류조가 경시청 취재 중 듣게 된 경관 권총 분실 사건을 소재로 만든 영화. 끈적하게 땀이 배일 것 같은 후덥지근한 여름의 분위기와 종전 후 서서히 부흥되어 가고 있는 도쿄의 실상이 매우 리얼하게 담겨 있다. ‘메그레 경감’ 시리즈로 유명한 추리소설가 조르주 시므농의 팬이기도 했던 구로사와는 긴박감 넘치는 추리영화의 틀을 빌려, 전후의 피폐한 현실과 가치관의 혼란을 탁월하게 묘사해 냈다. 모리사키 아즈마에 의해 1973년 리메이크되었으며, 아오야마 신지의 (1997) 역시 직접적인 영향을 받았다. , , 등 많은 미국영화에서 이 작품에 오마주를 바친 장면들을 발견할 수 있으며, 특히 조지 루카스의 에서 오비완 케노비가 라이트 세이버를 떨어뜨린 아나킨을 힐책하는 장면은 사토가 무라카미를 질책하는 장면을 그대로 인용한 것이다.

Neighbor
This pair of gentle yet witty and inventive comedies from the director of The Neighbour's Wife and Mine typify both the formal experimentation of early Japanese sound cinema and the social milieux that Shochiku tended to depict. 'Virtually plotless, and feeling more like comic sketches than fully developed stories,' writes Arthur Nolletti, Jr, 'these light comedies, or farces, take a wholly trivial matter (often a socially embarrassing situation) and use it as a springboard for a succession of gags.' Much of the films' distinction comes from the wit of Gosho's direction, the imaginative use of the new sound technology and the charm of the acting, particularly of the heroines (Kinuyo Tanaka in Bride; Hiroko Kawasaki in Groom). Yet in both films, Gosho finds room for some shrewd observation of character and environment, subtly exploring the values and assumptions of the suburban petit bourgeoisie.

Early Japanese sound film, a remake of Josef von Sternberg’s DOCKS OF NEW YORK set in Yokohama.
Nui, Fuwa's wife
This 1932 adaptation is the earliest sound version of the ever-popular and much-filmed Chushingura story of the loyal 47 retainers who avenged their feudal lord after he was obliged to commit hara-kiri due to the machinations of a villainous courtier. As the first sound version of the classic narrative, the film was something of an event, and employed a stellar cast, who give a roster of memorable performances. Director Teinosuke Kinugasa was primarily a specialist in jidai-geki (period films), such as the internationally celebrated Gate of Hell (Jigokumon, 1953), and although he is now most famous as the maker of the avant-garde silent films A Page of Madness (Kurutta ichipeji, 1926) and Crossroads (Jujiro, 1928), Chushingura is in fact more typical of his output than those experimental works. The film ranked third in that year’s Kinema Junpo critics’ poll, and Joseph Anderson and Donald Richie noted that 'not only the sound but the quick cutting was admired by many critics.
