Synopsis by Dan Pavlides
Based on the popular novel by Eirijo Ariyoshi, this plodding drama tells the life story of a young bride from her wedding day to her death 65 years later. The film opens up with the idyllic scene of a procession of boats carrying the newlyweds up the river. Technical aspects of this lavishly photographed film reflect the time and money spent on the visually stunning feature.
