Die Töchter des Hauses Makioka: Directed by Kon Ichikawa. With Yoshiko Sakuma, Sayuri Yoshinaga, Yûko Kotegawa, Jûzô Itami. The orphaned Makioka sisters look for a husband for their third sister, Yukiko, as the rebellious youngest sister, Taeko, is kept waiting her turn.

“One should first read The Makioka Sisters by Junichiro Tanizaki to better understand this film. It is a very great novel about the life of four middle-class sisters in Osaka, Japan in the 1930u0026#39;s. The book describes in great detail the many subtleties of life in Japan which a Westerner can miss understanding in the film. The film rather closely follows the book and is very beautifully photographed.”
