“The Wife’s Confession” (also known as “A Wife Confesses”) is a courtroom drama directed by Yasuzo Masumura, who worked at Daiei Film alongside Kenji Mizoguchi or Kon Ichikawa, but to this day is not as recognizable as other post-war Japanese filmmakers. Although the leading actress, Ayako Wakao, won the award for the Best Actress in 1962 at Kinema Junpo Awards, and Blue Ribbon Awards, the movie gained popularity only in the 21st century. It was screened at the 17th Athens International Film Festival, the 26th Shanghai International Film Festival, and the 57th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.
