[HIJÔSEN NO ONNA] [非常線の女]
This formally accomplished and psychologically complex gangster tale pivots on the growing attraction between Joji (Oka Joji), a hardened career criminal, and Kazuko (Mizukubo Sumiko), the sweet-natured older sister of a newly initiated young hoodlum — a relationship that provokes the jealousy of Joji's otherwise patient moll, Tokiko (Tanaka Kinuyo). With effortlessly cool performances and visual inventiveness, DRAGNET GIRL is a bravura work from Yasujirô Ozu. (Note adapted from Janus Films.)
