I was amazed at the agility of the older actors who sat down with such ease on the floor with no wincing or complaining. How is this possible? Everyone in the US can barely pickup a coin on the floor let alone sit comfortably at a very very low table.
I conjecture the action in this film is very minimal so that all I could think of is how everyone is so healthy even though the men are at a bar drinking most of the time. Was this an accurate depiction of life in Tokyo or thereabouts to express how calm and peaceful the Japanese are after all the horror stories of WWII???
I had to really power through this film as the dialog is very mild and subtle. It is hard to recommend unless this is a fair portrayal of life in the big city and how women were treated like chattel. High Five to the ancients who move with ease, I am impressed with such talent these days.
