Arguably Naruse's most famous and acclaimed film, Floating Clouds match-cuts between softened memories and brutal reality, past and present, sun-kissed images of French Indochina and a post-war Japan cloaked in shadows. Ignominy has overtaken Tokyo, where two former workers for the Imperial Forestry Ministry—Kengo, a married officer and Yukiko, a typist—reignite their wartime affair in a doomed attempt to revivify a past distorted by the ripe promise of endless imperial capital.
