Summary:A woman persuades her gangster boyfriend to go straight and sacrifice himself to save a young student who has recently joined the gang and his sister from a life of crime. [www.bfi.org.uk]
This formally accomplished and psychologically complex gangster tale pivots on the growing attraction between Joji, a hardened career criminal, and Kazuko, the sweet-natured older sister of a newly initiated young hoodlum - a relationship that provokes the jealousy of Joji’s otherwise patient moll, Tokiko. With effortlessly cool performances and visual inventiveness, "Dragnet Girl" is a bravura work from Yasujiro Ozu. [www.criterion.com]
