Reception
Naruse biographer Catherine Russell rated Battle of Roses a lesser work by its director, which seemed "to have been hastily put together, with some surprisingly abrupt editing and a rather poor script […] drawing on the sensationalism of the “liberated” woman.[4]
Notes
- ^ The Eiga Geijutsu Kyōkai ("Film Art Association") was a film production company founded by Naruse, Akira Kurosawa, Kajirō Yamamoto and Senkichi Taniguchi, which existed from 1948 to 1951.[1]
