Plot edit

In the midst of Japan's rising economy of the mid-1980s, the itinerant Tora-san becomes drunk with a hard-working company section chief. After an hour commute, the two sleep off their night's revelry at the section chief's home in Ibaraki Prefecture. When the section chief disappears due to the pressure of his job, Tora-san helps his wife to find the man, while secretly hoping they do not, as he has fallen in love with her.[2][3]

Cast edit

Critical appraisal edit

Director Yoji Yamada was nominated for the Golden Prize at the 14th Moscow International Film Festival.[5] At the Japan Academy Prize long-time Otoko wa Tsurai yo composer, Naozumi Yamamoto was nominated for Best Music Score for his work in this film.[6] Stuart Galbraith IV rates the film no better than average for the series, but still recommends it highly due to the series' high standards. He notes that it benefits from an opening dream-sequence satire of kaiju eiga, or monster films, with footage from Shochiku's entry in this genre, The X from Outer Space, employed. This was meant to reference Godzilla's return from retirement in The Return of Godzilla (1984), which had been released just before the Tora-san film.[3] Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times wrote that the film was a "little slow in getting to its wrap-up, but it's the kind of honestly sentimental film that leaves you feeling better when the lights go up than when they went down."[7] The German-language site molodezhnaja gives Tora-san's Forbidden Love three and a half out of five stars.[8]

Availability edit

Tora-san's Forbidden Love was released theatrically on December 28, 1984.[9] In Japan, the film was released on videotape in 1987 and 1996, and in DVD format in 2002 and 2008.[10]
