Twenty-Four Eyes

Japan 1954

A great classic film set in a time...1928 - 1948...of major societal turmoil. We follow the story of a young teacher sent to a rural village on an island in the Inland Sea as she forms a lifelong bond with her 12 students and suffers with them as they undergo life's blows.

Cine here was spectacular...the film was overtly manipulative, wringing maximum emotional reaction from the audience. Excellent use of music.

Justly regarded as one of the greatest films ever to emerge from Japan.
