Hi there Fox in the Snow, nice to hear your thoughts on Mikio Naruse, I too have "only scratched the surface" on the great directors filmography and am most interested in exploring further his mid to late 30s films. A mix of drama comedy and musical. The absolutely wonderful 1935 film Otome-gokoro - Sannin-shimai , Three Sisters with Maiden Hearts was his first talking picture. It has an amazingly modern feel with beautifully composed expressionist cinematography, full of innovative technique, and thoughtfully a tale with emotional intensity...
