On the Beach

1985 · 1h 7m · Drama

IMDb 6.7

A 6.7 IMDb score on a 1930s Japanese drama about sisters and a predatory man suggests this is a difficult, potentially exploitative watch that doesn't quite justify the discomfort. Skip it unless you're a completist of early Japanese cinema—there are better ways to spend your evening.
