Join The Museum of Modern Art for a screening of Fue no Shiratama (Eternal Heart), directed by Hiroshi Shimizu, and a piano accompaniment by Makia Matsumura. In this tale of unrequited love—the oldest surviving film in Shimizu’s prolific and influential career—Toshie is a shy typist who falls for an office colleague, only to find he’s already smitten with her more outgoing younger sister. Shimizu’s precise compositions and bold camerawork makes this color-tinted black-and-white film ripe for rediscovery, a film bursting with imaginative, almost avant-garde sequences.
