What Apart from You Is About
Kikue is an ageing geisha whose teenage son Yoshio is ashamed of what she does and has turned that shame into anger. Terugiku, the younger woman working alongside her, carries her own resentment at having been pushed into this life by her family. Mikio Naruse made this silent film at Shochiku in 1933 and it became his first real critical success, placing in Kinema Junpo's top ten for the year. He is already standing where he would stand for the rest of his career: watching women caught between money, shame and what a family expects, without judging them and without asking anyone to pity them. It is one of the Naruse silents that survived.
