180. Children of the beehive (1948)
Country: Japan
Directed by Hiroshi Shimizu
Although I am not a fan of Hiroshi Shimizu I can't deny that he is a leading figure of Japanese cinema and various of his movies they could be easily a part of any list with the best Japanese movies of all time. The comment of Mizoguchi that he and Ozu worked hard to make great movies but Shimizu was a genious is enough to show how well respected the director is by the people who know about cinema. 'Children of the beehive' is one of his best films, where he depicts the the tragic conditions of living in the post war Japan , in a film filled with emotion, humanism and the usual optimism of the director
