Untameda.k.a.Untamed Woman (あらくれ,Arakure) is a 1957 Japanesedrama film directed byMikio Naruse. It is based on a novel byShūsei Tokuda.[1][2][3]
A woman marries, gives birth to a stillborn child, and divorces, falls in love with a hotel-keeper, only to find herself subordinated to his drive for success, takes up with a tailor who cannot console himself with her strong personality.
Donald Richie and Joseph L. Anderson found in protagonist Ōshima "one of the strongest characters Naruse ever created", but also an out-of-place "postwar strain of neuroticism" in Hideko Takamine's interpretation.[4]
Untamed was Japan's submission to the30th Academy Awards for theAcademy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but was not accepted as a nominee.[6]
