The Human Promise (Ningen no yakusoku) (1986) marks Yoshida's return to feature filmmaking after a thirteen-year break, presenting a poignant and courageous exploration of aging, dignity, and mortality. This film delves into the complex and often taboo subject of euthanasia with a delicate and profound touch. The narrative is driven by the nuanced performances of veteran actors, notably Rentaro Mikuni, who brings depth to his role. The film's use of water imagery adds layers to the central themes, reflecting the rich ambiguity characteristic of Yoshida's cinematic style.
