Kinoshita es un cineasta que siempre me pareció un tanto sentimentaloide, pero tiene pelis estupendas, y ésta lo es. Qué bien narrada está la adolescencia, cuando empiezas a darte cuenta que tus padres no son la perfección y cuestionas injustamente sus comportamientos.  Es muy buena contando esos años de perdida de la inocencia y de la infancia, en plena Japón sumergida en una guerra, todo representado en el personaje de Ichiro, el adolescente que observa su mundo convertido en caos .

Akiko Tamura and Akira Ishihama in Boyhood (Keisuke Kinoshita, 1951) Cast: Akira Ishihama, Akiko Tamura, Chishu Ryu, Renaro Mikuni, Toshiko Kobayashi, Mutsuko Sakura, Takeshi Sakamoto, Ryuji Kita. Screenplay: Keisuke Kinoshita, Sumie Tanaka, based on a novel by Isoko Hatano. Cinematography: Hiroshi Kusuda. Art direction: Tatsuo Hamada. Music: Chuji Kinoshita. It's easy to see why Keisuke Kinoshita was one of Japan's most popular directors: He had that audience-pleasing ability to create identifiable characters and familiar situations, along with a sincere desire to make a statement about ordinary people caught up in the sweep of history. Like his Twenty-Four Eyes (1954), Boyhood is about people in wartime but not where the conflict rages most fiercely -- the conflicts in Boyhood are interpersonal and internal, not international. Ichiro (Akira Ishihama) is a 15-year-old boy, too young to fight in the war. When his family -- mother, father, two younger brothers -- relocates to the country during the war, Ichiro chooses to stay behind in Tokyo so he can continue his studies. But the first air raid finds him on a train to see his family, and when he returns to school he finds that he has fallen behind the other students and is stigmatized for his flight. So he joins his family in the country and starts at a new school, where he is an outcast, in part because the rural people treat the refugees from the city with scorn. He also feels at odds with his father (Chishu Ryu), an intellectual who tacitly disapproves of the war, and is disturbed by the fact that his mother (Akiko Tamura) does most of the work to keep the family fed and housed, while his father continues with his studies. Ichiro is regarded as a weakling by his fellow students, and the teachers, most of whom preach the militaristic virtues of strength and self-sacrifice, do little to help. When the lake freezes over in winter, for example, Ichiro finds that he is incapable of learning to skate, and though he makes a determined effort, he's mocked for his failure. Not as wrenchingly sentimental as Twenty-Four Eyes, Boyhood still elicits strong feeling because Kinoshita sticks with Ichiro's point of view -- his desire to fit in, his closeness to his mother, and his confusion about his father's distance from the reality of what is happening around them. At the conclusion of the film there's a measure of triumph in the defeat of militarism at the war's end, but there's also a feeling of a lack of resolution to Ichiro's story.

Chieko Higashiyama, Kuniko Miyake, and Ichiro Sugai in The Portrait (Keisuke Kinoshita, 1948) Cast: Kuniko Igawa, Eitaro Ozawa, Kamatari Fujiwara, Ichiro Sugai, Chieko Higashiyama, Kuniko Miyake, Yoko Katsuragi, Mitsuko Miura, Keiji Sada, Toru Abe. Screenplay: Akira Kurosawa. Cinematography: Hiroshi Kusuda. Production design: Motoji Kojima. Film editing: Yoshi Sugihara. Music: Chuji Kinoshita. Keisuke Kinoshita's The Portrait deserves to be a little better known, if only because its screenplay is by Akira Kurosawa. Not that it's a masterpiece, or even a particularly felicitous example of Kurosawa's screenwriting, but it's one of the better films of the enormously prolific and sometimes misguided Kinoshita. At the core of the film is an old trope: the portrait that reveals the truth. In this case, it reminds Midori (Kuniko Igawa), the mistress of real-estate hustler Kaneko (Eitaro Ozawa), of her innocent past, causing her to break off their relationship. Kaneko has entered into partnership with Tamai (Kamatari Fujiwara) to buy a rather rundown and ill-planned house, make some renovations, and flip it for double the price. The problem is the tenants, an artist named Nomura (Ichiro Sugai) and his family. Kaneko is reluctant to evict them outright -- this guy is in real estate? -- so he concocts a plan: He will move Midori, who has somewhat of a temper, into the upstairs room of the house, and she'll prove such a torment to Nomura and his family that they'll be glad to leave. But things start to go awry almost immediately: The family think that Midori is Kuneko's daughter instead of his mistress. Naturally, she's somewhat flattered by this misconception. She softens even more when Nomura wants to paint her portrait, and falls completely when the family downstairs prove to be kind and affectionate people. Watching Yoko (Yoko Katsuragi), the daughter, dance with her boyfriend under a full moon, and then be joined by Nomura and his wife, Midori starts to turn against Kaneko. But then even Kaneko is softened by the tenants and abandons his scheme. This is typical movie sentimentality, a fault Kinoshita (and sometimes Kurosawa) was often guilty of, but there is a bittersweet touch to the ending when Midori, having seen her portrait on display at a museum, walks away into an unknown future.

Ryo Ikebe in Apostasy (Keisuke Kinoshita, 1948) Cast: Ryo Ikebe, Yoko Katsuragi, Osamu Takizawa, Jukichi Uno, Eitaro Ozawa, Sachiko Murase, Kenji Susukida, Ichiro Sugai, Akira Yamauchi. Screenplay: Eijiro Hisaita, based on a novel by Toson Shimazaki. Cinematography: Hiroshi Kusuda. Art direction: Isamu Motoki. Film editing: Hisashi Sagara. Music: Chuji Kinoshita. The title of Keisuke Kinoshita's film Apostasy is generally acknowledged to be a mistranslation of the original, Hakai, which has a variety of meanings, including "destruction." The film is not about someone abandoning his religion, which is what the English "apostasy" means, but instead it's about the discrimination against Japan's feudal pariah class, the burakumin, literally, "people who live in villages." Which is again misleading if we think of villages as small communities of farmers, artisans, and merchants, all of whom had acceptable roles in feudal society. The burakumin were considered untouchable because their work associated them with death: butchers, tanners, undertakers, executioners, and so on, who, unable to associate with the "respectable" classes, formed communities and villages of their own. The taint of their work extended to their children's children -- even to those who managed to improve themselves with education and work in other fields, like the protagonist of Kinoshita's film, Segawa (Ryo Ikebe), who loses his job as a schoolteacher because he has hidden the fact that he's a "villager," as the English subtitles call him. His secret is exposed when he goes home to his village, remote in the mountains near Nagano, for his father's death. The action of the film takes place in 1901, well after American influence had caused the Japanese government to lift the legal restrictions placed on the burakumin, though without erasing the deep-seated prejudice against them. But Kinoshita has a more contemporary purpose for his film: After World War II, Japan was adopting a new, and of course again heavily American-influenced, constitution, guaranteeing civil rights to all Japanese citizens. So Apostasy is a heavily didactic film about tolerance -- not unlike some of the preachier American films that promoted better race relations in the aftermath of the war. Its bigots are despicable and its heroes -- including a descendant of the burakumin who has become a lawyer and a crusader for equality -- are noble. There's a love threatened by prejudice that triumphs, and a tear-filled ending in which the children Segawa has taught come out to wave goodbye as he departs the town that scorned him. In short, it's Kinoshita at his most sentimental.
