Biographie et filmographie

Hiroshi Shimizu

Hiroshi Shimizu, né le 28 mars 1903 dans la préfecture de Shizuoka et mort le 23 juin 1966 à Kyoto, est un réalisateur et scénariste japonais. Après avoir abandonné ses études, il rejoint les studios Shōchiku en 1922 comme assistant réalisateur et réalise son premier film, *Au-delà du col*, en 1924.

Cinéaste particulièrement prolifique, il s'impose dans les années 1930 avec des œuvres comme *Jeunes Filles japonaises sur le port* (1933), *Monsieur Merci* (1936), *Un enfant dans le vent* (1937), *Une femme et son masseur* (1938) et *Pour une épingle à cheveux* (1941). Son cinéma se distingue par ses tournages en décors naturels, ses mouvements de caméra fluides et son attention à la vie quotidienne, aux classes populaires et au monde de l'enfance.

Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il quitte le système des grands studios et poursuit sa carrière comme réalisateur indépendant. Il se consacre notamment aux enfants abandonnés et aux orphelins de guerre dans *Les Enfants de la ruche* (1948) et *Les Enfants du Grand Bouddha* (1952). Auteur de plus de 160 films, dont une grande partie est aujourd'hui perdue, Shimizu demeure une figure importante du cinéma japonais d'avant-guerre, dont l'œuvre a été progressivement redécouverte à partir des années 1990.
