Keisuke Kinoshita's 1958 multi-award-winning classic is a meditative tale of love and humanity that explores traditional Japanese cultural values.
The film recounts the ancient custom of younger inhabitants in a remote mountain village, who are obliged to shepherd those over the age of 70 to the top of Mount Narayama to await their death.
One such elder attempts to sort out the lives of her three children before she fulfills her duty to the village.

I bought the 1982 movie before this one, but it turned out to be an Italian version. The English version was only available 2nd hand for high prices. As I didn't know there were other movies with the same title I thought it had a new cover and bought it. But it turns out to be the registration of a stage performance and doesn't have the quality of the 1982 movie. So it is my fault, although it would have been wise to warn the customer.
I sent it to the shop where I returned the Italian version to.
