The Heart

こころ
1955 120 min Drama

Meiji autumn meets a manga heartbreak as a student burrows into a mismatched couple’s polite silence only to find their honeymoon photos hide a single, unspoken scar. The film treasures its quiet devastation carried by an actor who looks like he could break in half. A 1955 shōshimin eiga etched in modest close-ups.

Directed by Kon Ichikawa · Written by Keiji Hasebe, Katsuhito Inomata

Starring Masayuki Mori, Michiyo Aratama, Tatsuya Mihashi, Shōji Yasui, Tanie Kitabayashi, Akiko Tamura
