The Moon Has Risen by Kinuyo Tanaka (1955)

The Moon Has Risen concentrates what we love about classic Japanese cinema and, still, a strong voice is there, on screen. Originality and beautifulness caress in the simplest way the complexity of human feelings. Being able to discover such a strong feature and giving the opportunity for new audiences to rediscover the film is an opportunity we couldn’t miss. Cannes Classics was the perfect place for this gem.
