Subtle exploration of a woman's path to purpose

Subtle exploration of a woman's path to purpose in life amid political and personal turmoil. Has all the hallmarks of a great Kurosawa movie: a deeply humanist attitude, well-written characters, great acting and camera work. Can feel a bit slow-paced to modern audiences.

Not one of Kurosawa's best. Rather than tell

Not one of Kurosawa's best. Rather than tell a good and coherent story the movie's true purpose seems to be to give the impression that the opposition to Japanese militarism in the 1930s was more dedicated and widespread than it actually was.

No Regrets for Our Youth (Waga Seishun ni

No Regrets for Our Youth (Waga Seishun ni Kuinashi) is a 1946 Japanese film written and directed by Akira Kurosawa. It is based on the 1933 Takigawa incident and is considered a quintessential "democratization film," taking up many themes associated with social policy under the early Occupation of Japan. The film stars Setsuko Hara, Susumu Fujita, Takashi Shimura and Denjirō Ōkōchi. Fujita's character was inspired by the real-life Hotsumi Ozaki, who assisted the famous Soviet spy Richard Sorge and became the only Japanese citizen to suffer the death penalty for treason during World War II. No Regrets for Our Youth was received enthusiastically by post-war audiences and was ranked as the second best film of 1946 by Kinema Junpo. Vision wrote, "hysterically annoying at first, until she finds her path. One who does not use logic is ignorant to facts. She embraces this throughout the film. Setsuko Hara played the part with no regrets. The depiction of both the military and peasants as antagonists is evidence for Kurosawa's "political uninvolvement" with both the right-wing and left-wing. Three fries for production, cinematography and story."
