The Makioka Sisters
The Makioka Sisters ★★★ 1983
Much praised drama centering around the lives of four Japanese sisters who are heiresses to the family fortune and, hence, must be found proper husbands. The efforts of the older sisters to “match” their younger siblings are entwined with a gradual realization on the part of the elders that the quiet way of life representative of their own formative years is passing away with the advent of WWII. The movie is as visually stunning as it is poignant. In Japanese with English subtitles. 140m/C VHS . JP Keiko Kishi, Yoshiko Sakuma, Sayuri Yoshinaga; D: Kon Ichikawa.
