About Housewife's Experience: Tenement
Noyuri lives in Fudōsō, a dilapidated apartment building in downtown Tokyo. The owner of Fudōsō is Noyuri's father, Harukichi, but he lost his house and property due to his gambling and womanizing, and is now living with a young woman. Noyuri manages to make ends meet by running the remaining Fudōsō and a small oden shop. One day, Harukichi shows up with a young sexy woman named Shinako. He says she's run out of money and is in debt, so she wants to stay in Noyuri's room for a while. Noyuri initially refuses, but eventually gives in and decides to stay at the oden shop...
Directed by Kazunari Takeda, Housewife's Experience: Tenement leans on a strong ensemble — Akane Kawasaki, Junko Miyashita, Moeko Ezawa — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1975.
