YesAsia Editorial Description

One of the undisputed masters of Japan cinema, Shimizu Hiroshi (1903-1966) made well over 100 films in his career, ranging from children's films to lighthearted comedies to stories from the fringe. His outstanding cinematic achievements match that of contemporary great and lifelong friend Ozu Yasujiro, though the latter has eclipsed him in recognition. Shimizu Hiroshi is particularly well known for his children's films, but his steady stream of output for Shochiku from the 1920s to 1950s yielded a far wider selection of films, many of which have been sadly lost to time. In comparison to Ozu's films which are readily available, Shimizu's works have been near impossible to find outside of the festival circuit, but Shochiku is now finally releasing Shimizu's films on DVD with English subtitles.

Released in 1940, Nobuko stars renowned actress/singer Takamine Mieko as titular heroine Nobuko, a spirited young teacher working in a conservative school. Based on a novel by Shishi Bunroku, the film follows her experiences as she challenges the school with her liberal thinking and teaching methods.

監督:清水宏

九州生まれの信子は、教師として東京の女学校に赴任した。着任早々その九州訛りを冷やかされた信子。冷やかしたのは町の有力者の娘で、教師たちはそれまで、彼女が何をしようと放任してきた。信子はその後、校長の命により寄宿舎の舎監になるのだが…。
権威主義的な女学校に飛び込んだ、自由な精神を持った女教師の奮闘を描く。原作は獅子文六の同名小説。監督は、ロケーションを多用する"実写精神"と呼ばれた手法で日本映画に確かな足跡を残した名匠・清水宏。主演は昭和を代表する名女優であり「湖畔の宿」など数々のヒット曲を持つ、"元祖歌う映画女優"高峰三枝子。今となっては貴重な戦前の女子寮の生活を生き生きと描き出した清水の演出力が光る、真の教育とは何かを問う人間ドラマである。
