It's also elegantly shot and scored; all that's missing is a touch of humour.

Sprint, don't walk, up those BFI steps to see it.

The new retrospective of Mikio Naruse at London's BFI Southbank will do much to restore the reputation of a neglected Japanese director, and this 1960 film is a heartbreaking study, to be compared with Mizoguchi's Life of Oharu.
