A Filmversation with Mike and Nick
Kinuyo Tanaka - The Moon Has Risen & Forever a Woman
Kinuyo Tanaka is likely best know for her tremendous acting career performing in great works of directors like Kenji Mizoguchi. But she also had a shorter directing career. Filmversation hopes to shine a light on this lesser known director, as the second Japanese female director in history and the first Japanese female to helm director of a movie solo. The Moon Rises reminds both, but Mike especially, of co-writer and show-favourite, Yasujiro Ozu. Forever a Woman stands out as the more personal of the two with a strong female protagonist dealing with progressive issues. Join the pair as they discover Tanaka.
