Production



The film was planned and written by the Yonki-no-kai, a group of four of Japan's most notable directors: Kon Ichikawa, Masaki Kobayashi, Keisuke Kinoshita, and Akira Kurosawa in 1969. Financial losses of a previous film in 1970 meant that funds were not available for filming Dora-heita.[https://web.archive.org/web/20140102131330/http://www.nytimes.com/movies/movie/186995/Dora-Heita/overview "Dora-Heeita - overview"]. 'New York Times'.

Many years later, after the deaths of the other three partners, Ichikawa was able to produce the film.[http://www.midnighteye.com/reviews/carmen-comes-home/ Midnight Eye review: Carmen Comes Home (Karumen Kyo ni Kaeru, 1951, Keisuke KINOSHITA)] The film includes cinematography by Yukio Isohata and a musical score by Kensaku Tanikawa.

The film was screened at the Berlin Film Festival in 2000[https://www.theguardian.com/film/2008/feb/14/obituaries.japan Obituary: Kon Ichikawa | Film | The Guardian] and the Japanese FIlm Festival.
