"Like his great contemporaries (Ozu and Naruse), Gosho was a masterful director of players: the ensemble scenes in a Gosho film have a memorable wit and irony" (John Gillett, National Film Theatre, London). One of Gosho's more formally elaborate and atmospheric postwar films, A Visage to Remember is a piece for three players: an elderly professor, his young wife, and a visiting student who is attracted to the wife because she reminds him of his own lost love. An evening seaside stroll causes an incident which irrevocably changes the relationship among the three.
