Description:
Mizoguchi’s 30th film, and the only surviving complete work from the 1920s, *Song of Home* explores the conflict between traditional and modern values. The story centers on two boys from rural backgrounds: a coach driver who has never traveled far from home, and a student returning from Tokyo with urban tastes and jazz records. Commissioned by the Ministry of Education, the film begins with a straightforward educational aim, but its lasting impact lies in its subtle and evocative portrayal of a lost rural way of life.
