Japanese classic人情紙風船(Humanity And Paper Balloons)



This Japanese movie director Sadao Yamanaka was drafted into the Japanese army and entered the service on the day this film was released theatrically.And sadly, was died during the war when he was very young aged 28!.With the exception of this film, and only 2 others were survived that we could watch them now.His other films(about 30)were lost ,I think the it is a big loss to the world of the movie globally.
The power of Humanity and Paper Balloons exists not only in the social message that shows the hardships endured by the poor but in its delineation of character,
The film starts with an unseen suicide by a disgraced samurai who hangs himself out of desperation. As the death is being investigated, local tenants hold a wake that turns into a evening of merriment, ostensibly to cleanse the evil that lingers there...
the floating paper ballon in the barrage seems to indicate the human destiny...

this film is rated ★★★★★
