Watching my way through this retrospective, I marveled at Shimizu's technical prowess, left breathless by the deeply felt humanity in all his works.
Shimizu's films explore outsiders' stories, depicting migrant workers, war veterans, orphans, persons with disabilities, and fallen women, showcasing the rift between traditional and modern Japanese culture.
