DESCRIPTION:\n\n&nbsp\;<a href="http://www.moma.org/calendar/film/3605?loca
 le=en">http://www.moma.org/calendar/film/3605?locale=en</a>\n\nAn artful s
 tylist and shrewd social critic\, the Japanese filmmaker Tomu Uchida (1898
 &ndash\;1970) left an illustrious body of work little seen or acknowledged
  outside his home country. Working within the Japanese studio system\, he 
 proved to be a dexterous\, adaptable visionary comfortable at the helm of 
 any production&mdash\;from samurai films\, thrillers\, and literary adapta
 tions to social satire and even a pseudo-Western set in Japan&rsquo\;s &ld
 quo\;Wild North&rdquo\; of Hokkaido. Uchida started making films during th
 e silent period\, found his career as a director interrupted by a decade s
 pent in Manchuria at the end of WWII\, and later returned to Japan to amas
 s a rich and far-reaching body of work. This retrospective\, the most exte
 nsive ever held outside Japan\, includes 35mm prints of works from the ear
 ly 1930s through the late 1960s\, when Uchida&rsquo\;s films tracked monum
 ental social and political changes in Japan with a cinematic flair that pu
 ts the director among legends like Masaki Kobayashi and Kihachi Okamoto.\n
