Four Seasons of Children: Spring\/Summer\u00a0<\/em>\u00a9 1939 Shochiku Co., Ltd.<\/p>\n

\u201cKindred to Jean Renoir, and even anticipating Hou Hsiao-hsien, was a man in Japan who brought a new wind to cinema: Hiroshi Shimizu.\u201d \u2014Ryusuke Hamaguchi <\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

“Ozu and I create films through hard work, but Shimizu is a genius.”<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u2014Kenji Mizoguchi<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

New York, New York, April 4, 2024<\/b>\u00a0\u2014 Japan Society and Museum of the Moving Image (MoMI) will co-present a 27-film retrospective devoted to Hiroshi Shimizu, an unsung master of Japanese cinema, from May 4 through June 1. Co-organized with the National Film Archive of Japan and the Japan Foundation, New York, the two-part series will offer the first New York survey of the major, yet often overlooked filmmaker in more than 30 years and the largest ever assembled in North America\u2014featuring rare, imported archival 35mm prints; live piano accompaniment; and newly commissioned subtitles.<\/p>\n

A prolific filmmaker with 163 films to his name\u2014of which only around a quarter survive\u2014Shimizu (1903\u20131966) worked as a star director for leading Japanese studio Shochiku (alongside his close friend Yasujir\u014d Ozu) from the mid-1920s until he left to form his own independent production company in the late 1940s, continuing to make work until 1959 through what has come to be known as the Golden Age of Japanese Cinema. He was highly regarded by contemporary critics, as well as peers like Ozu and Kenji Mizoguchi, for his seemingly effortless formal ingenuity, distinguished by his signature linear traveling shots, and his naturalistic, open-air depictions of regional Japan. Shot on location and frequently employing non-actors, the loosely plotted, low-key tragicomedies that comprise his most characteristic work foregrounded the transient lives and hardships of everyday people with a marked regard for those pushed to the margins of society, including drifters, migrant workers, war veterans, persons with disabilities, outcast women, and especially children, in whom the director took a personal philanthropic interest and of whom he remarked: \u201cThey are natural. They breathe the air. Films must have humans who breathe the air.\u201d<\/p>\n

Divided in two parts, the retrospective will begin with\u00a0Part I: The Shochiku Years<\/b>,\u00a0<\/i>presented at Museum of the Moving Image from May 4\u201319, gathering the best films of Shimizu\u2019s protean and varied career with the studio, from his stark, strikingly modernist early melodramas, both silent and sound, to the lyrical tours of provincial life with which he would become chiefly associated. Highlights include the filmmaker\u2019s hitherto best-known films in the United States\u2013\u2013Japanese Girls at the Harbor\u00a0<\/i>(1933),\u00a0Mr. Thank You\u00a0<\/i>(1936),\u00a0The Masseurs and a Woman<\/i>\u00a0(1938), and\u00a0Ornamental Hairpin<\/i>\u00a0(1941, starring Ozu stalwart Chishu Ryu and Shimizu\u2019s one-time wife, the great actor-director Kinuyo Tanaka)\u2013\u2013alongside rarer contemporaneous works that display the full stylistic and tonal range of this consummate craftsman\u2019s accomplishments, such as two of his best silents, the harrowing, two-part fallen woman saga\u00a0Seven Seas<\/i>\u00a0(1931\u201332) and the bitter family tale\u00a0A Hero of Tokyo<\/i>\u00a0(1935); his richly atmospheric first talkie\u00a0A Woman Crying in Spring<\/i>\u00a0(1933), a bleak Chekhovian drama set in wintry Hokkaido; the virtuosic sports comedy\u00a0A Star Athlete\u00a0<\/i>(1937), featuring the apotheosis of Shimizu\u2019s limpid sense of camera movement; the elegant period piece, exceptional among Shimizu\u2019s typically contemporary-set films,\u00a0Notes of an Itinerant Performer<\/i>\u00a0(1941); the stoic, King Vidor-esque treatise on a child\u2019s reform school\u00a0Introspection Tower<\/i>\u00a0(1941); the ethnographically detailed propaganda film\u00a0Sayon\u2019s Bell<\/i>\u00a0(1943, starring Shirley Yamaguchi), photographed and set in Taiwan; and two of the director\u2019s supreme masterpieces\u00a0Children in the Wind\u00a0<\/i>(1937) and its two-volume sequel\u00a0Four Seasons of Children<\/i>\u00a0(1939).<\/p>\n

From May 16\u2013June 1, Japan Society will present the inaugural John and Miyoko Davey Classic Film Series\u00a0Part II: The Postwar and Independent Years<\/b>. Shimizu\u2019s postwar films have seldom screened internationally, despite being achievements on equal footing with his prewar output. Capturing Japan in a state of regeneration, these films illustrate a society trying to pull itself together, weaving themes of collective struggle and hope while zeroing in on the plight of the dispossessed underclasses. Highlights include Shimizu\u2019s complete Children of the Beehive<\/i>\u00a0trilogy. Rarely screened in its entirety and for the first time in North America, this late-period saga is the culmination of the director\u2019s postwar work, featuring the eight war orphans Shimizu himself adopted and brought up in a rented Buddhist temple after World War II.<\/p>\n

In addition, the program includes the international premiere of\u00a0Tomorrow There Will Be Fine Weather\u00a0<\/i>(1948), lost for 70 years until it was rediscovered in 2022 by the National Film Archive of Japan. Shintoho productions include the tragicomedy\u00a0Mr. Shosuke Ohara,\u00a0<\/i>a personal favorite of director Shinji Somai, and\u00a0The Shiinomi School.\u00a0<\/i>Four of Shimizu\u2019s Daiei productions will also screen, notably his tragic melodrama\u00a0Sound in the Mist\u00a0<\/i>(1956, recently revived in Portugal to overwhelming acclaim) and\u00a0Image of a Mother\u00a0<\/i>(1959), Shimizu\u2019s final film. As part of the series, Japan Society has commissioned new English subtitles for five films\u2014some never-before screened in English-speaking countries\u2014Tomorrow There Will Be Fine Weather<\/i>,\u00a0Sound in the Mist<\/i>,\u00a0Image of a Mother<\/i>,\u00a0Children of the Beehive: What Happened Next\u00a0<\/i>(1951), and\u00a0Children of the Great Buddha\u00a0<\/i>(1952).<\/p>\n

An iteration of the\u00a0MoMI\/Japan Society program entitled\u00a0Hiroshi Shimizu: Notes of an Itinerant Director<\/i>\u00a0will travel to Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA) in July.<\/p>\n

About Japan Society<\/b><\/p>\n

Japan Society is the premier organization connecting Japanese arts, culture, business, and society with audiences in New York and around the world. At Japan Society, we are inspired by the Japanese concept of kizuna (\u7d46)\u2013forging deep connections to bind people together. We are committed to telling the story of Japan while strengthening connections within New York City and building new bridges beyond. In over 100 years of work, we\u2019ve inspired generations by establishing ourselves as pioneers in supporting international exchanges in arts and culture, business and policy, as well as education between Japan and the U.S. We strive to convene important conversations on topics that bind our two countries together, champion the next generation of innovative creators, promote mutual understanding, and serve as a trusted guide for people everywhere who seek to more fully appreciate the rich complexities and abundance of Japan. From our New York headquarters, a landmark building designed by architect Junzo Yoshimura that opened to the public in 1971, we look forward to the years ahead, which will be defined by our digital and ideational impact through the kizuna that we build. Our future can only be enhanced by learning from our peers and engaging with our audiences, both near and afar.<\/p>\n
