A woman (Takamine, outstanding) suffers years of pain and humiliation when she reignites, upon her repatriation to Tokyo, an affair that had begun during the war in French Indochina with a married, philandering government worker (Mori, excellent), whose mistresses keep getting younger and younger, in Naruse’s exquisitely crafted and beautifully acted melodrama, which perhaps lacks the subtle power of his very finest work.
