Letters to Cinema: Two in the Shadow (1967) with The Parallel Cinema Club

Our weekly meetings consist of a screening of an arthouse film, followed by a discussion. The discussion is led by one of our members, or sometimes a guest speaker, and encourages members to share their thoughts and interpretations of the film.

Two in the Shadow (1967)

“Both an underrated and an important figure in the Japanese golden era, Mikio Naruse’s Two in a Shadow is his final film. Known for his ‘mono no aware’ outlook in his films, in Two in a Shadow, we follow Yumiko’s tumultuous life after she loses her husband, and gradually falls in love with the same person who killed her husband.”

Who are The Parallel Cinema Club?

We are a community-run film society based out of Bangalore and Hyderabad. We are a group of film enthusiasts who meet up once a week to discuss the reel world, auteurs and themes, and occasionally host guest lectures.
