The story of a necessarily short-lived friendship between children, set in a riverside suburb of Osaka in the mid-1950s, not yet witness to Japan's Economic Miracle. A war widow and her two kids moor their houseboat opposite a small restaurant, and the kids befriend Nobuo, the shy young son of the restaurateur. The woman surreptitiously carries out the only trade she can to support herself and her children. The film centres on Nobuo, the lower middle class boy, and observes (without undue sentimentality) his discoveries in rapid succession of class difference and sex. The movie is based on a novel, whence doubtless the metaphor that underpins the tale (the mud of experience), but Oguri's direction is not in the least literary: he trusts his sharp black-and-white images to dramatise the spaces between the characters, and gets performances of natural maturity from his young actors. Oguri's first feature, it's one from the heart.

There's a calmness to this docudrama that gives it authenticity, suggesting it might have an autobiographical basis. The central characters are two boys who live opposite each other on the muddy banks of the river in Osaka. Nobuo's parents run a restaurant, while Kiichi lives on a barge with his sister and mother (the latter a prostitute). Although the theme is all too familiar, the growing friendship between the boys and their relationships with the adults is compelling, with a suggestion of Ozu in both theme and style. The movie received an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Film, but Oguri remains largely unknown here.

Ha sido para mí una sorpresa esta película, a ratos dura y a ratos tierna. La peli capta muy bien la atmósfera de los años 50, no sólo en la ambientación del entorno portuario de Osaka (que casi es lo menos logrado), sino en la estética fílmica, y ya no lo digo sólo por el blanco y negro. Buena interpretación la del trío de actores infantiles. Cuesta seguirla a partir de los subtítulos en inglés, que son de traducción automática, de esas que te traducen hasta los nombres propios de los personajes. Además, se han empeñado en poner "Okinawa" donde los actores dicen "Osaka".

"Obra maestra", sin duda.

¡Gracias por la ficha, Gorchakov!

Un saludo

Buenas noticias para los seguidores de Kôhei Oguri. He encontrado unos subs en inglés buenos para esta peli (no son los autotraducidos). Los he subido a kloofy y están en latest subs bajo el nombre Muddy River.Kohei Oguri.Doro No Kawa.by badge.PROPER.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

No me lo puedo creer, vaya sorpresa! Mil gracias soulrocket, tengo esta peli en mi carpeta de Sin Subtítulos desde hace tiempo y Oguri es un director que me encanta (Nemuru otoko es una de mis pelis favoritas de los 90 en Japón).

[soulrocket]

yw, Yasuo. Enjoy.

Yo la tenía sin subs también y haciendo una de esas razzias que hago de vez en cuando a ver qué cae encontré ésta y la de "Mandara", que me hacía bastante ilusión verla también. Hay días en los que todo sale bien... Un saludo, Desartico

[Desártico]

Pues como llevaba tanto tiempo esperándola, la vi en cuanto descargué los subs. Y qué decir! Una película bien hecha, bien desarrollada, y con unas interpretaciones sencillas pero muy efectivas. Me ha gustado mucho, voto Imprescindible, y ahora ya sólo me queda The buried forest!
Aún no le he dado menos de un Imprescindible a este director de las tres suyas que he visto 

[garitero]

Enlazados los subs a la ficha. ¿No podiamos borrar los subs chinos, total...?

[jasikevicius]

Venga,... me voy a arriesgar con este film. Me lo bajo.

Synopsis: A wayfaring boat docks opposite a riverside noodle shop in Osaka. The shopowner's son makes friends with the children who arrive from the boat, and slowly comes to understand the illicit trade it conducts. Told from the boy's perspective, this is a story of new friendship and the fresh discoveries of childhood, as well as that state of seeing and knowing things about grownup life for which one does not even have words yet to name. At the other end of life, the boy's father, who came late to parenthood at the age of 40, ponders the senseless death of a shop patron, carries with him memories of the war, and thinks back on the woman he abandoned long ago after finishing military service. There is much that is palpably felt but left unsaid about the inner lives of children and grownups because of the film's sensitive and perceptive attention, and because the characters are shown in the very process of understanding it for themselves. The film opens and closes with the long, ever flowing river - a fitting emblem for the passage of time, and the currents connecting young and old, present and past.
