About A Certain Woman
Pretty Oshige is deceived by her first love. After this, she lives a hard lifestyle, working at a number of jobs. Her only pleasure is her nephew, who eventually becomes a merchant marine. When Oshige meets her old love ten years later, she is able to forgive him and even thank him for the path her life has taken.
Directed by Minoru Shibuya, A Certain Woman leans on a strong ensemble — Kinuyo Tanaka, Shūji Sano, Michiyo Kogure — 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 1942.
