Jubilation Street
The few residents left on the streets in Tokyo share their individual stories and come to understand the melancholy of saying goodbye.
From the archive
As World War II escalates, the tight-knit inhabitants of a street in Tokyo must relocate from their homes so the government can use the space. Kinoshita’s sensitive film—beautifully and resourcefully shot—traces the fears and desires of the evacuees.
