Japanese Film Festival

A Japanese Film Festival is currently showing at the Penthouse in Brooklyn. The offering of only three works is not as broad as in 1975's Japanese Film Week, but what it lacks in breadth it certainly makes up in depth.

Rashomon (1950), and the Burmese Harp (1956), the two films still to come this week, provide a valuable chance for us to gauge Japanese cinema in its most outstanding decade.
