House of Strangers 1949
Engaging story and brilliant performances from the three leads. Shades of Balzac in the family melodrama. Got emotionally invested in all three leads even though they were very morally ambiguous and dubious character. Recommended.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Extemely overrated both by critics and fellow letterbox users. I think it's "fashionable" to see Ghibli or Miyazaki and start shouting "masterpiece".
Pros: Amazing animation
Very good first half - childhood scenes, earthquake sequence
very well doneCons: Clunky script and very bad pacing - confusing - why are the
secret police after him? Why does he live in his boss' place?
Supposed to be a biopic, coming of age tale, doesnt feel like
either
Female characters wasted - why…Translated from by -
