Japan Mikio Naruse
Very charming film which, typically, illustrates the unspoken rules that govern behavior in Japanese society. Naruse is above all a humanist and sees his films as opening the veil on what the little people say, think and do.
A crisis erupts when the prop horsehead needed for the play the traveling company are staging gets damaged. We watch the complex emotional interactions within and without the company as they all try to deal with this. The poverty of this class is also shown...not as a point but simply the reality of these peoples' lives.
The final scenes gave me a good laugh.
