Apart from You/Every-Night Dreams (ECLIPSE) (1933)

For Apart from You, Mikio Naruse turned his camera on the lives of working women, which he would continue to do throughout his long career. In this gently devastating drama, a critical breakthrough for the director, he contrasts the life of an aging geisha, whose angry teenage son is ashamed of her profession, with that of her youthful counterpart, a lovely young girl resentful of her family for forcing her into a life of ignominy.

Every-Night Dreams follows a single mother who works as a bar hostess and her struggles to provide for her son in depression-era Japan.
