Late Autumn

Director: Yasujirô Ozu

1960 / 128min / 35mm

The sublime, serene Setsuko Hara, whose appearances for Ozu include that of a daughter being reluctantly primed for marriage by a single parent in Late Spring (1949), returns in this at once comic and elegiac reworking of that earlier film as the widowed mother who pushes her own daughter towards matrimony while friends of her late husband further complicate matters with well-meaning bumbling.

Distributor: Janus Films
