, also titled Love Betrayed, is a 1973 Japanese drama film written and directed by Kaneto Shindà Â. It is based on the 1914 novel Kokoro by Natsume Sà Âseki.
Sà Âseki's novel has been adapted for film and television numerous times, the first time for cinema by Kon Ichikawa in 1955 as The Heart. For his version, writer/director Shindà  moved the story's Meiji era setting to the 1970s and put his focus only on the novel's third and final part, "Sensei to isho" ("Sensei's testament").
While Louis Frédéric ranked The Heart among Shindà Â's important films, Max Tessier criticised Shindà Â's "leaden directing" and "heavy-handed psychology".
