The final film in Shimizu’s thirty-plus year career, Image of a Mother remains true to Shimizu’s central themes as a young boy must learn to form a relationship with his new stepmother. A rare scope feature from Shimizu, his final work forms a fitting farewell to a career so devoted to the lives of the misunderstood.
