During Holy Week of 59 in the tragicomic social landscape of Franco's Spain, takes place the sentimental chronicle of a nine years old boy: Pablito. Pablito wants the pedal car he sees in a shop near his home. His family -middle class with bad luck - silently suffers the pressure of the other part of the family- middle class with good luck and best influences. The desire of the car and the hope to get it encourage his parents to take the child, piggy bank in hand, through a strange journey to the colorful and surprisingly familiar world full of lies and blackmail. Pablito emotionally survives in that environment thanks to his ability to get from his imagination the answers that parents and teachers do not give him. And that way, Pablito will create his own happy ending.

Yamamoto Satsuo’s poetic and socially aware lens shines bright in this compassionate chronicle of working-class life across turbulent decades of Japanese history, and Ballad of the Cart assures his place as a master of the medium. Japan held a particular place at the Afro-Asian Film Festival. Having not attended the Bandung Conference, the country also did not send official delegations to Tashkent, Cairo or Jakarta – while the cinema industry proper always participated on its own account, with choice films as well as creatives. Ballad of the Cart, directed by card-carrying Communist Yamamoto Satsuo, was a perfect fit for the festival’s ideals and aims: the story of a peasant couple’s life through tumultuous decades of Japanese modern history was as much an emotionally moving crowd pleaser, as a perfect example of the socially conscious poetic realism deemed desirable by the Left-wing establishment. Half a century later, Yamamoto’s masterpiece has only grown in depth, as today we almost never get to see working class life told with such dignity, care and kindness. Those who liked The Great White Tower (1965), which we screened last year as part of Cinema Regained, will surely agree after also watching Ballad of the Cart that Yamamoto Satsuo is a master in dire need of discovery.
