You Were Like a Wild Chrysanthemum1955
Both directed by Keisuke Kinoshita, and both starring Haruko Sugimura

Kinoshita's first film after the end of World War II is a wrenching, superbly wrought tale about a liberal-minded Japanese family torn apart by war and imperialist politics. Morning for the Osone Family is both palpably bitter about the nation's fresh wartime wounds and inspiringly hopeful about a democratic tomorrow.
