When a Woman Ascends the Stairs (Naruse Mikio, 1960)
This is Naruse? I was tripping as soon as I saw it was in Scope. For the first while I was thinking this must be the Japanese Mankiewicz but as it went on I realized that's way too harsh. Still pretty bland though, I couldn't find anything here that justifies such stringent admiration; maybe I should've started with his earlier work. The script's good though and Takamine kills it.
