Prostitution was a very common theme in Japanese

Prostitution was a very common theme in Japanese cinema in the 30s and 40s. The stories are there to be mined for good drama. This one, while not bad, brings nothing new to the milieu.
Reviewed by jazzest 7 / 10

In postwar Japan, a wife has to deal with the consequence of her decision when she needed her son's hospital charges during her husband's absence. The theme, women's harsh reality at the time, is exceptionally serious for Ozu. It makes Hen in the Wind uniquely and intensely emotional, combined with Ozu's style, such as off-screen actions, implicative montages, and singsong dialogues.
