The major works in which Nakahira employed his ensemble casting method were "Gendaikko" (Modern children), a cynical, modern film that was shot in the same year as "Doro darake no Junjo" and was typical of Nakahira, and "Hikaru Umi " (Shining sea), a film in which Yoshinaga, Mieko TAKAMINE, Kinuyo TANAKA, Masayuki MORI, and others appeared. 同年のシニカルでモダンで中平らしい『現代っ子』、それに吉永、高峰三枝子、田中絹代、森雅之らが競演する『光る海』は中平流群像劇の総仕上げ的な作品となる。 |
