Wissenswertes

Carmen's Pure Love a.k.a. Carmen Falls in Love or Carmen's Innocent Love is a 1952 Japanese satirical comedy film written and directed by Keisuke Kinoshita and starring Hideko Takamine and Toshiko Kobayashi. It is a sequel to Kinoshita's 1951 comedy Carmen Comes Home.

Production and legacy

Carmen's Pure Love was Kinoshita's first film after his nine-month stay in France, where he had met his idol, director René Clair. Unlike its predecessor, Carmen Comes Home, which had been shot in colour (making it Japan's first feature length colour film), Carmen's Pure Love was shot entirely in black-and-white and made extensive use of expressionist camera angles.

Film historian Alexander Jacoby called Carmen's Pure Love an "uneasy, somewhat misanthropic satire" in contrast to the "tender humour" of its predecessor.

Donald Richie was of a different opinion: while he called Carmen Comes Home one "of the better comedies", he saw its successor as "the greatest [satire] made in Japan".

While not yet available on home media in English speaking countries, Carmen's Pure Love has been released on DVD in Japan and Austria.
