Hiroshi Shimizu
Part I: The Shochiku Years

May 4–19, 2024

An unsung master of Japanese cinema, Hiroshi Shimizu (1903–1966) was highly regarded by contemporaries Yasujirō Ozu and Kenji Mizoguchi for his seemingly effortless formal ingenuity. This retrospective offers the first New York survey of the major yet often overlooked filmmaker in more than 30 years and the largest ever assembled in North America.

Both smile, though the fire figure looks at the water figure, who looks away awkwardly.
