Master filmmaker Kiyoshi Kurosawa won the Silver Lion at the Venice Film Festival for this riveting, gorgeously crafted, old-school Hitchockian thriller set in 1940 on the eve of the outbreak of World War II. When the population of Japan is divided over its entry into the war, a well-to-do actress is torn between loyalty to her husband, the life they have built, and the country they call home.
