Haru no mezame (1947) ENG SUBS

Haru no mezame was Naruses third fulllenth postwar film and a delightful surprise. It turns out to be a slice of life film, centered around a couple of years in the life of a rural high school girl played by 16 year old Yoshiko Kuga still a tiny bit plumpish and not full grown. Almost no plot to speak of just normal events of school and home life and hanging around with friends. Director: Mikio Naruse. AKA 春の目ざめ, Spring Awakens Writers: Mikio Naruse, Toshio Yasumi.
