The Kinema Junpo critics were, of course, mistaken to think that Naruse had abandoned his emphasis on women. His next film, Sincerity, features two strong female characters, played by Irie Takako and Murase Sachiko, each of whom have a daughter. The girls are schoolmates, but one (Nobuko) is from a middle-class home and the other (Tomiko) is from a poor family. Tomiko's mother Tsutako (Irie) is a single mother who works from home as a seamstress, while Nobuko's mother lives in an elegant home with her husband, Kei. Eventually, it is revealed that Kei had a romantic relationship with Tsutako, and may be Tomiko's father as well, but he is conscripted shortly after this revelation and goes off to war.This is very much a home front film, in which the women are involved in supporting activities, and the whole town cheers on the new recruits. As Kei is a banker, he is conscripted as an officer. He is introduced brandishing a magnificent sword, indicating his readiness for his call-up, for which everyone congratulates him when it comes. The wartime context is little more than a backdrop to the story of paternity and former love. The complex emotions among the women are conveyed through cutting on eye movements and eye lines, and through the use of the pastoral location.

导演德里克·贾曼的辞世遗作《蓝》，记录下了他罹患艾滋后的最后岁月。此时的贾曼已经双目失明，面对他的是死亡的颜色——这忧郁的蓝。影片从始至终都是满眼的蓝色，也是唯一的颜色。无画面无情节，也没有对白没有人物，除了诗性的背景音乐和贾曼宁静安详的自白。贾曼用这种极端的“反电影”形式，向我们讲述他最后的岁月：是嘈杂烦躁的医院声，也是岸边孤独深沉的海浪声；是他面对死亡时毫无怨言的沉默，也是他不舍离开深爱恋人的不忍与决绝。他说：“我献给你们这宇宙的蓝色，蓝色，是通往灵魂的一扇门，无尽的可能将变为现实”，这也是贾曼与世长辞时，留给我们最后的“蓝色”。
