Kabei: Our Mother (2008)

Set in Tokyo in 1940, the peaceful life of the Nogami Family suddenly changes when the father, Shigeru, is arrested and accused of being a Communist. His wife Kayo works frantically from morning to night to maintain the household and bring up her two daughters with the support of Shigeru's sister Hisako and Shigeru's ex-student Yamazaki, but her husband does not return. WWII breaks out and casts dark shadows on the entire country, but Kayo still tries to keep her cheerful determination, and sustain the family with her love. This is an emotional drama of a mother and an eternal message for peace.

Painful though it may be, Kâbê is finely crafted and totally enjoyable. Watch

Sayuri Yoshinaga delivers a credible and heartrending performance as a mother who struggles to keep her family afloat in this Japanese period drama set during WW II. Melodramatic yes, but also compelling and engaging.

A movie that I am just at a loss of words to describe. Needless to say, by the end of the movie most viewers will be left in tears in seeing the situation this family has gone through in World War II Japan has the father of the family is arrested for 'thought crimes', leaving the mother (the 'Kabei' of the title) struggling to keep the family going. Directed by Yoji Yamada (of Twilight Samurai fame).

The movie info says a lot about this movie, but this is my piece. This is a historical drama. A human drama and of course, a love story. A story narrated from the daughter, Teru-bei about the life and times of her mother. This is a love story Kayo - a loving mother, a loyal daughter, a good wife and a great woman - towards her family. I watched this movie on Mother's Day and yes, this is the best movie tribute to a person called 'mother'. 5 star: Great performance by the casts. Great script and plot. Great directing. And of course, the cameo of Baisho Chieko was awesome. :)

Deeply powerful study of a family trying to survive repression and poverty in wartime Japan with much in common--unexpectedly--with the director's Samurai trilogy.
