The Heart | 1973| original Japanese title Kokoro | こころ | Director Kaneto Shindo | stars Nobuko Otowa

Kokoro (こゝろ, or in post-war orthography こころ) is a novel by the Japanese author Natsume Sōseki. It was first published in 1914 in serial form in the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun. The title, translated literally means “heart”. The word contains shades of meaning, and can be translated as “the heart of things” or “feeling”. During the novel’s initial serial run, from April 20 to August 11, 1914, it was printed under the title Kokoro: Sensei no Isho (心　先生の遺書, Kokoro: Sensei’s Testament). When later published in novel form by Iwanami Shoten, its title was shortened to Kokoro; the rendering of the word “kokoro” itself was also changed from kanji (心) to hiragana (こころ).

Storyline
Kokoro is the story of a subtle and poignant friendship between two unnamed characters, a young man and an enigmatic elder scholar whom he calls Sensei. Haunted by tragic secrets that have cast a long shadow over his life, Sensei slowly opens up to his young disciple.

It hurts.
Review by godgetsmepumped 4 June 2015
Shindo takes on the classic Natsume Sōseki novel and makes a very different film than Kon Ichikawa did in 1955. He sets the story in modern times (1973) and entirely eschews the post-trauma ‘Sensei’-student relationship in favor of telling the tale that led to the destruction of Sensei’s soul. Even then, he takes great liberties with the material, offering up potent visual metaphors to depict the novel’s themes of struggle, self-control, betrayal, and the distance between all of us. The result is, surprisingly, more profound than Ichikawa’s faithful adaptation, and another heartbreaking, deeply thoughtful triumph in the oeuvre of this unsung master of cinema.
