- Synopsis:
- The film focuses on Okin, the ex-geisha who has embraced the new post-war economy most successfully and single-mindedly. Former colleagues Tamae, whose son threatens to become a gigolo, and Tomi, who has a decidedly 'modem' daughter, live together and try to make ends meet. With his customary emphasis on the material circumstances that shape our lives, Naruse nevertheless manages to transform the film into a moving celebration of friendship.

Good film. - awful print - Mikio Naruse Collection: Late Chrysantemums review by AB
If you are into gloom, go for this one. It's supposed to be a BFI reissue, but their usual quality is lacking, and it spoils the film. It deserves better.
