The Age of Beginnings
A newly hired daily newspaper writer covering the society beat receives an assignment to cover Tokyo at night by walking and observing it. He gets into the right frame of mind by dressing the part as a vagrant with not a penny to his name. He gets into trouble ending up at the police station slammer overnight. He has no material to write about and, with his assignment unfulfilled, faces a cross editor.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The Age of Beginnings is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.
Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.
A classic from 1947. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
