Film director. Real name Katayama Minoru. Born January 2, 1907, in Shichikencho, Asakusa Ward, Tokyo (now Asakusa, Taito Ward, Tokyo). Dropped out of Keio University's English department. Joined Shochiku's Kamata studio in 1930, and worked as an assistant to Naruse Mikio, Ozu Yasujiro, and Gosho Heinosuke, before becoming a director in 1937. His first film, "Do Not Tell Your Wife" (1937), was already sophisticated and an excellent piece of ironic family comedy. After that, he released a series of excellent works that looked at family life with cool, satirical humor rather than warm laughter, even though Shochiku Ofuna films specialized in home dramas. His works, such as "Mother and Child" (1938), "All About Chaos" (1950), "Closed Today" and "Modern People" (1952), "Medal" (1954), "Justice" and "Crazy Village" (1957), are excellent works that we would like to pass on to future generations as they vividly depict the lives of ordinary people in postwar Japan. He passed away on December 20, 1980.

映画監督。本名片山実。明治40年1月2日、東京市浅草区七軒町(しちけんちょう)(現、東京都台東区浅草)の生まれ。慶応義塾大学英文科中退。1930年(昭和5)に松竹蒲田(かまた)撮影所に入り、成瀬巳喜男(なるせみきお)、小津安二郎(おづやすじろう)、五所平之助(ごしょへいのすけ)などの助手をつとめ、1937年に監督になる。第1作の『奥様に知らすべからず』(1937)から早くもソフィスティケートされ、皮肉のきいた家庭喜劇の佳作であった。以後、ホームドラマを得意とする松竹大船映画のなかにあって、温かい笑いより風刺のきいたクールな笑いで家庭をみる一連の秀作を発表した。1938年の『母と子』、1950年(昭和25)の『てんやわんや』、1952年の『本日休診』と『現代人』、1954年の『勲章』、1957年の『正義派』と『気違い部落』などが、戦後日本の庶民生活を活写したものとして後世に伝えたい佳作である。昭和55年12月20日没。 [佐藤忠男] 資料 監督作品一覧奥様に知らすべからず(1937) 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
