At the large hall of the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo Film Center in Kyobashi 3-chome, a retrospective feature of film director Kenji Misumi is featured.
The period is until March 13 (Sun).
Director Misumi directed many works, mainly at Daiei Kyoto Studios, but died suddenly in 1975 at the age of 54.
This project is a retrospective feature of 51 of the 67 movie theaters directed by Misumi, and 19 films in charge of directing the TV drama "Destruction" series.
I watched "Lending Wolf with Children" from 13:00 on the 13th (Sat)
This is the first movie of a popular drama, and the story of a sword of worship (Tomisaburo Wakayama), who was a public servant, becomes an assassin from a conspiracy of the Yagyu clan, and goes on a wandering journey with a young child, Daigoro.
It's been a long time since I watched the so-called entertainment period drama, but I felt that the features of Director Misumi were reflected in the screen composition that emphasized light and shadow and fine frame splitting, and I also enjoyed the overexpression conscious of drama.
