Children Hand in Hand (1948)
Directed by Hiroshi Inagaki
Overview
Though less well known than Susumu Hani’s celebrated 1963 remake, Hiroshi Inagaki’s Children Hand in Hand is nonetheless a heartbreaking portrait of childhood kindness and cruelty—and, by implication, conflicted ideals of masculinity—centering on a small-town boy with a learning disability who attempts to fit in with his classmates.
Length 86 minutes
