Movie Description 4m5a41
One Wonderful Sunday is a 1947 Japanese film co-written and directed by Akira Kurosawa. It is in black-and-white and runs 108 minutes. The film was made during the allied occupation of Japan and shows some of the challenges of life in early post-war Tokyo. It is notable in the Kurosawa canon because Masako breaks the fourth wall near the end of the film. The movie is one of many occupation-era Japanese films that parallel the more famous Italian neorealism movement, emphasizing poverty, hunger, weakening social mores, and urban dilapidation in the years after World War II.
