Tokyo March

東京行進曲
1929 24 min Romance · Drama

Tokyo March sets an unrequited romance against the glittering billboards and geisha districts of 1920s Tokyo, where a taxi dancer’s wages can’t buy love even when the city’s first neon lights call her name. The film pivots on a single train platform goodbye that still lingers in the three reels left to us. Given what survives, it’s remarkable how much heartache a city can carry.

Directed by Kenji Mizoguchi · Written by Chiio Kimura

Starring Shizue Natsukawa, 一木札二, Eiji Takagi, Isamu Kosugi, Takako Irie, Taeko Sakuma
