MESHI is an uncomplicated narrative told with insightful detail and subtlety from the point of view of the unhappy wife, Michiyo, disappointed by her drab existence and the boorish indifference of her husband, Hatsunosuke, whose attentions are easily distracted by the arrival of his niece. As in the other films discussed here, Naruse portrays life in post-war Japan in an almost documentary fashion, particularly in his location sequences in claustrophobic alleys and near waterways. One of the commentators mentions how it was Fassbinder twenty years later whose dissection of middle-class life in the post-war society in Europe is very much a reminder of Naruse's concerns.
