Introspection Tower

This collection of vignettes set in the titular rural hilltop reformatory might be the most soberly realistic of Shimizu’s many films about children.

A Star Athlete

Shimizu’s episodic sports comedy is a favorite among film historians for its virtuoso passages of camera movement, including a sublime 40-shot march along a country road that’s pure back-and-forth axial motion.

The Masseurs and a Woman

Shimizu’s most eccentrically personal film, screening 5/12, follows a pair of blind masseuses who come across a variety of characters whose dilemmas range from tragic to comic.
