Port of Flowers

Directed by Keisuke Kinoshita

With Eitarō Ozawa, Ken Uehara, Mitsuko Mito, Chishū Ryū and Eijirō Tōno

The sweet but naive denizens of a charming port town are hoodwinked by a couple of con men at the outset of World War II. But the hustlers’ plan backfires when they come down with severe cases of conscience. Keisuke Kinoshita’s directorial debut is a breezy, warmhearted, and often very funny crowd-pleaser that’s a testament to the filmmaker’s faith in people.
