Part of Too Much: Melodrama on Film

Join us for our Melodrama Zine Workshop before the film (tickets booked seperately). Presented by Lazy Girls Film Club

Adapted from Fumiko Hayashi’s best-sellling novel, Mikio Naruse’s undisputed masterpiece contrasts two characters: a strong woman who relentlessly pursues her desire while hoping her lover and society will understand what she has to do to survive, and her lover who craves a conventionally validated social identity.

To him, she represents a blind spot that he cannot face. They love each other, but the times are out of kilter and they are hopelessly out of synch, trying to live as individuals in a newly democratised Japan.
