#Bales2025FilmChallenge of July 24: someone goes to a spa, beach, or retreat

簪​ [Kanzashi / Ornamental Hairpin] (Hiroshi Shimizu, 1941)

The Japan Times

“Born the same year as his close friend Yasujiro Ozu, Hiroshi Shimizu (1903-1966) remains one of the forgotten masters of Japanese cinema, praised by contemporaries including Sadao Yamanaka and Kenji Mizoguchi but neglected despite his radical spirit and versatile talent….” 📽️ 🇯🇵 🎞️ 🗽 #cinema #film #movies #JapaneseCinema #HiroshiShimizu #CineMastodon #MoMI #NYC

Hiroshi Shimizu Part II: The Postwar and Independent Years

Declared a genius by Kenji Mizoguchi, Hiroshi Shimizu remains one of the forgotten masters of Japanese cinema. Distinguished by his loosely sketched plots and roaming camera, Shimizu’s worlds are suffused with an innate naturalism and a lyrical humanism that observes the journeys of children, outcasts and travelers alike.
