Kuroi ame (1989)

 

 

The story of the aftermath of the Hiroshima bombing, based on Masuji Ibuse's novel.

Touching and haunting story details the impact the Hiroshima bombing had on one family's lives, caught in exquisite black and white imagery.

Halliwell*: "Intermittently moving, despite its uncertainties of tone."

Maltin***: "Somber, restrained, and very moving story...A quietly observant character study with a number of haunting black and white images."
