Older Brother, Younger Sister

Older Brother, Younger Sister (あにいもうと, Ani imōto) is a 1953 Japanese drama film directed by Mikio Naruse.

Also, Mon, as the film suggests, supports San's education by prostitution, as the father's business had to close down and the mother hardly manages to finance the family by running a small store.

The ill-tempered eldest brother Inokichi decides to take on the role of a disciplinarian, first beating up Kobata when he visits the family to apologise, and later Mon.

[4] Keith Uhlich of Slant Magazine gave the film 3.5 of 4 stars for showing Naruse's "considerable skill at portraying household dynamics".

Older Brother, Younger Sister was screened at the Museum of Modern Art in 1985[7] as part of its retrospective on Mikio Naruse, and at the Cinémathèque Française in 2016 and 2017.
