Just announced! Keisuke Kinoshita's TWENTY-FOUR EYES (1954).
Equally known for her longstanding relationship with director Keisuke Kinoshita as with Mikio Naruse, Hideko Takamine remains eternally bound to her role in the immensely popular 1954 epic TWENTY-FOUR EYES, Kinoshita’s heralded anti-war masterpiece. Posted to teach in a remote fishing hamlet nestled within the sun-drenched isles of the Inland Sea, schoolteacher Hisako Oishi (Takamine) takes special devotion to her class of first graders, a group of 12 schoolchildren—the titular “twenty-four eyes”—who grow and mature alongside their pacifist teacher in the ensuing two decades, facing hardship, joy and tragedy as Showa’s imperialism and the fervor of wartime patriotism begin to take hold. Kinoshita’s humanist drama is elegant and sprawling, a powerful work that reflects on the darkest period of Japanese history.
Screening on imported 35mm on 8/22 as part of "John and Miyoko Davey Classics": japansoc.org/TwentyFour

I loved this movie. I always wondered how they managed to find a cast of children and adults who looked so much alike. And then I read about how this was done by casting siblings and relatives to protray the characters as they grew from children to adults. Amazing casting!

If ever you are in Shodoshima you can visit the location - it is still atmospheric, looking across the bay. There is a film set from the remake and the original schoolhouse.
