- Synopsis
- It concerns an aging mother who lives in Tokyo, her five grown children, and several of their spouses, nearly all of whom have money troubles. When one of the daughters (Setsuko Hara) is widowed, she returns to the family nest with a substantial inheritance; one by one, her siblings take advantage of her trusting personality, driving her close to bankruptcy and despair.
- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Featuring one of Naruse's most beautiful endings, 'Daughters, Wives and a Mother' is unfortunately something of a dull slog through territory better covered in the director's prior masterpiece 'Sudden Rain'. (...) Naruse's typically piercing psychological insight—comparable to the best work of Henry James and Eric Rohmer—only emerges in select scenes".
