Japan Society Film is thrilled to introduce year-round Monthly Classics screenings featuring beloved classics, hidden gems and recent discoveries of Japanese cinema on the first Friday of every month.
The first film screening will feature Carmen Comes Home. This breezy musical comedy stars an irresistible Hideko Takamine as exotic dancer Lily Carmen, whose grand return to her quiet countryside home from the big city immediately causes a stir. Both a subtle satire on the influence of postwar American culture and a piece of lighthearted female-centric escapism, Carmen Comes Home endures as one of director Keisuke Kinoshita’s most beloved films.
