Susumu Hani
Tokyo 1958 [videorecording]= Susumu Hani - Japan Cinema 58 1958 - 1 videodisc (ca. 24 min.) sound, color. 4 3/4 in. - Suna no onna .
Short is contained on disc 2 of Suna no Onna.
From IMDb:
Eight filmmakers collaborate with Teshigahara to bring a newsreel-style snapshot of Tokyo in 1957-58, when it had eight and a half million people and was the largest city in the world. The industry of the people is evident, with Katsushika Hokusai's woodcuts interspersed with shots of contemporary workers. We watch women give a makeup demonstration, we visit bridal stores, and we see a young woman win a rock and roll singing contest and follow her home with her prizes; we go to the Ginza on Christmas Eve, with bars and nightclubs full tilt, and we join the throng at the Meiji shrine on New Year's Day. Some surreal touches add comedy to underscore Tokyo's energy and life.
DVD video; Dolby Digital 1.0; monaural; NTSC; Regions 1; 1.33:1 as 4:3 fullscreen
Japanese audio. Optional English subtitles.
