    In part five of our deep dive into Japenese cinema, Adam and Chris discuss the end of the 1950s, where three distinctive generations of filmmakers were working in tandem creating such masterpieces as Good Morning, The Hidden Fortress, and The Human Condition. We also look ahead to some of the New Wave filmmakers that would be getting their start in this era before breaking out in the 1960s.
