Japanese: 小市民映画 - しょうしみんえいが
Small-town movies - small-town movies
A genre of modern drama film popular in Japanese films in the early Showa period. It refers to a series of films that depict the lives of ordinary people exposed to social and economic anxiety from the Taisho to Showa periods, and do not actively portray the reality of their unemployment and hardships, but instead incorporate pathos, sentimentality, and nonsensical humor. Representative works include Yasujiro Ozu's "I Failed, But" (1930) and "I Was Born, But" (32), as well as Heinosuke Gosho's "Life's Burden" (34) and Mikio Naruse's "Do Your Best, Koshiben" (31).
