Scattered Clouds (1967)

Naruse’s final film. A story about the relationship between a pregnant widow and the man who (accidentally) killed her husband. There were moments where I thought the film was heavy-handed and silly, but other moments where Naruse displays his subtlety as a director. This also sums up my opinion of Naruse’s filmography. Having watched all the canonical works, I probably won’t watch another film of his for awhile.
