EDITOR’S PICK Masaki Kobayashi’s follow-up to “The Human Condition” was as intimate in scale as its predecessor had been epic—and every bit as masterful. A rich businessman is dying, and his three illegitimate children must be located to receive their share of his fortune, a process complicated by the machinations of his young wife (Watanabe) and his secretary (Kishi). In a rare depiction of the bourgeois milieu, Kobayashi creates a vision of modern life that has been completely corrupted by materialism. 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 24. Ticket prices vary. Museum of Moving Image, 36-01 35th Ave. For more information, visit movingimage.us. Photo courtesy of Janus Films
