The sublime director Yôji Yamada’s The Yellow Handkerchief (1977), adapted from a series of 1971 columns written by American journalist Pete Hamill, tells the tale of a road trip spontaneously undertaken by a trio whose back stories are revealed through subtly nuanced flashbacks.

The foreign drama, which is here presented in Japanese with English subtitles, was the first to receive the Best Picture award of the Japan Academy Prize.
