ABOUT THE FILM: In Japanese with English subtitles. Based on the short story “The Scarlet Gang of Asakusa” by Yasunari Kawabata (winner of the 1968 Nobel Prize in Literature), director Mikio Naruse’s first sound film vibrantly captures the social fabric of Asakusa, Japan’s largest entertainment district at the time, with musical flair and tenderness. Inspired by the visual storytelling of the silent film era, Naruse builds tension with nuanced sound design and inventive camerawork, vividly tracing the sisters’ distinct emotional arcs. A poignant exploration of women’s roles and lives in 1930s Japan, THREE SISTERS WITH MAIDEN HEARTS is a heartfelt portrait of three siblings choosing survival, sacrifice and the bonds that hold them together.
