Twenty-Four Eyes

Saw a wonderful vintage Japanese film (with English subtitles) called Twenty-Four Eyes. It is based on a tale written by Sakae Tsuboi and the film directed by Keisuke Kinoshita about a rural school teacher in 1930's Japan and their lives through WWII. It was so neat to see what farm life was like, the seasons of Japan and their rural culture. It is a long movie but worth it to see how it all unfolds. The protagonist is a female teacher and a great role model even for today's times. Only wish it was in color to show the beauty of the rural panoramas
