ABOUT THE FILM: In Japanese with English subtitles. BROTHER AND SISTER follows the unravelling of a financially precarious family when the eldest daughter, Mon (Machiko Kyō, in her only collaboration with Mikio Naruse), returns home after an unexpected pregnancy. Her brother Inokichi (Masayuki Mori) is consumed by rage over what he sees as bringing disgrace to the family, while their parents worry that a scandal — a constant threat with gossipy neighbors all around — could thwart the younger sister San’s (Yoshiko Kuga) chances for a suitable marriage. To complicate things, the film also carries an uneasy suggestion that Inokichi’s fury stems from more than just brotherly concern. FORMAT: 35mm DISTRIBUTOR: Kadokawa COUNTRY: Japan
