Most of the characters in Akira Kurosawa's films are domineering samurais, but this film takes a different approach. With a cheerful touch, it tells the story of a young and sorrowful couple who put all their troubles behind them on a Sunday. The film was also the first Japanese movie to directly reflect the feelings of young people towards sex. The scene where the male lead, Yuzo, courts his lover, Masako, made young audiences at that time watch it with great interest. The scene of a young couple daydreaming about running a small restaurant in the ruins in the future is also delightful to watch.[Collapse]
