Japan d/ Mikio Naruse
Sweet little film from 1941...starring the incomparable Hideko Takamine. She plays a young woman working as a conductor on a rural bus route. The bus they use is old, rickety and dirty. She decides it would help their failing business if she delivered facts about things and places along their route.
She was radiant, the story light with a tincture of tragedy and knowingness. It left me with an ache for the type of world this film presented.
