The Garden of Women (1954)
Directed by Kinoshita Keisuke
Based upon a novel by Abe Tomoji

“Oh, my friends, young women

Just a simple girl am I

Hope and joy we’re sure to find
in our blossoming youth”

A Question for Bad Movies asks Why, then Damn Good Picture asks How, as I examine the mechanical tickings of what I think is great in cinema.
