Family Life

Made in Japan over eighty years ago but still as fresh as a daisy today; the indignity experienced by 14 year-old Hideko Takamine at having to shop for food with coupons is still a harsh reality in 21st Century Britain.

Much is made of Kurosawa's presence on the set as director Kajiro Yamamoto's assistant, but the unobtrusive elegance of Yamamoto's staging and the attractive location work makes it look more like Ozu; while those who know their De Sica will note the calamity suffered by the father when his bicycle is stolen.
