Ending was as flooring as people suggested, but especially loved the train sequence; the little moments - him eating noodles; sitting closer to her; swapping magazines. A beautiful kind of intimacy between them.

Downbeat, thoroughly absorbing drama has its flaws - the hissable sisters-in-law could use a dimension or two - but another great performance by Hideko Takamine and a conclusion that certainly hits home.

Tormento estreava há 60 anos no Japão. Nem sempre gosto de terríveis estórias de amor, mas esse é obra-prima genuína. Devastador e belíssimo. Box Versátil A Arte de Mikio Naruse.
