Kokichi Takada
Биография великой японской актрисы Кинуё Танака (1909 — 1977) представлена в обрамлении истории возникновения и развития японского кино. К сожалению, молодая красавица Саюри Ёсинага не может передать полностью обаяния своего прототипа. Ведь Кинуё Танака прошла путь от юной симпатичной простушки, героини немого кино до маститой актрисы, способной на самые трагические роли. Авторы фильма, режиссер Кон Итикава и сценарист Канэто Синдо пытались подчеркнуть значение Кэндзи Мидзогути в формировании её таланта. Но на самом деле среди великих режиссеров того времени трудно встретить того, кто не снимал эту потрясающую актрису.
