Uchida Tomu
(1898 - 1970)
Little known Japanese director who starting working around the same time as Naruse and Ozu, but out lived them both. Not a master film-maker like them, but still worth checking out if his stuff is findable! I was lucky enough to catch this during a retrospective at the local film festival a few years ago, i think they played 2 or 3 others, but i missed them.
1. Yoshiwara: The Pleasure Quarter (1960) 7/10
2. Chikamatsu's Love in Osaka (1959) 7/10
3. A Bloody Spear on Mount Fuji (1955) 6/10
