Yasujiro Ozu,
Japan,
1953,

Part of It’s a Wrap! celebrating our final weekend in the PFA Theater

 

This simple, sad story of the gap between generations in a Japanese family revealed to Western viewers the poetic acuteness of Ozu's style, and features one of Japanese cinema’s greatest performances in Setsuko Hara’s role as a becalmed, utterly determined young woman. "Wonderful . . . one of the manifest miracles of cinema" (New Yorker).
