Heinosuke Gosho

Gosho Heinosuke ( Japanese 五 所 平 之 助 ; born January 24, 1902 in Tokyo , Japan , † May 1, 1981 in Mishima , Japan) was a Japanese film director , "who, together with Mizoguchi , Ozu and Kurosawa, formed the quartet of old masters of the Japanese Cinemas formed. "

Live and act

Gosho went to the Schoschiku-Kamata-Studios in 1923, where he was hired as an assistant director. Two years later he was allowed to direct a film for the first time. With his very early work, Heinosuke Gosho received little positive criticism, only Kanojo received consistently good reviews. His late silent films remained without a response, but he was able to present Japan's first one hundred percent sound film in 1931 with the direction of Madam to Nyōbō . In the decades that followed, up to 1968, Gosho was one of the hardest-working directors in Japan with almost 100 cinema productions. Outside of Japan his films, in contrast to those of Kurosawa but also Ozus and Mizoguchi, were shown relatively rarely.

In his Japanese homeland, on the other hand, Gosho's oeuvre was very popular. The world of the little people, which Gosho outlined with loving sketches, set the scene for the action. Even with some of his early works from the 1930s ( Izu no odoriko, Jinsei no onimotsu, Hanakogo no uta ) the detail-obsessed director - the term “Goshoism” ( 五 所 イ ズ ム , Goshoizumu ) - is the most important representative of one in Japan's film circles cinematic realism in Japanese cinema. Gosho showed a tendency towards melodrama, tragedy, moving, dramatic love stories. Gosho's productions always reflect a deep sympathy for the characters in the stories. His production Kiiroi karasu , created in 1956, received the Golden Globe Award in 1958 .

Gosho, who worked irregularly from 1937 to 1951 for health reasons, was President of the Association of Japanese Film Directors from 1964 to 1975.
