I mention Joi no shinsatsushitsu not because of Hara Setsuko and Uehara Ken who play the lead roles in this love story, however because of Tsuneyasu Tazuko who wrote the unique story on which the movie relies. Compare with the female-created Boys’ Love. The film ends on a optimistic observe: the younger folks decide not to rush things however see how their emotions for each other develop. One final movie must be talked about and that is Wakabito e no hanamuke (Farewell present to younger people), made after a script written by Azumi Yoshihito, the director of the Heian Hospital in Kyoto specializing in venereal diseases.
Some anime is geared towards younger boys, whereas others are geared toward young adults. I point out this typical intercourse schooling film because on March 22, 1950, three days after the opening of Otome no seiten, an article in the Miyako Shinbun labels the film mission as “wakabito no seiten” (intercourse encyclopedia for young people). The movie acquired only mediocre critiques and polska-mebel.ru Naruse himself did not rate the movie very highly, however at the top of his life cinematographer Tamai Masao remembered the movie as a “hidden masterpiece” (kakureta kasaku), a judgement tough to confirm, as a result of Furyo shojo is Naruse’s only put up-conflict movie which has been lost. The film was produced by Toyoko Eiga and released by Shochiku in March 1949. Throughout the third Toho strike Naruse followed Kurosawa Akira and joined Eiga Geijutsu Kyokai, https://hanime.su/ the production company arrange by Yamamoto Kajiro and producer Motogi Sojiro who also produced Furyo shojo.
The film revolves around Kumiko, a high school third grader performed by Kuga Yoshiko in her second film. The movie is Haru no mezame (Spring Awakening), Naruse’s third post-conflict movie. Naruse made Furyo shojo after he started working on Shiroi yaju (White beast), but the third Toho strike got under means through the shooting and Naruse had to attend two years until he might finish this movie about a group of prostitutes in a rehabilitation facility struggling with social prejudices, undesirable pregnancies and venereal diseases. On a aspect observe, in 1964 actor Izu Hajime directed a film with the title Onna (Woman) starring Hoshi Michiko (who had started her profession with the above mentioned Nikutai no hakusho).
