Late Spring ( Japanese 晩 春 , Banshun ) is a Japanese film by director Yasujiro Ozu from 1949. In Germany, the drama was first broadcast on March 15, 1972 on ARD .
action
The widowed professor Shukichi Somiya has a marriageable daughter named Noriko. However, Noriko would rather live with her father because she doesn't want to leave him alone. To make it easier for her to leave her father's house, Somiya fakes a relationship with a younger woman.
background
Late spring is the first part of the so-called Noriko trilogy (in addition to late spring also wheat autumn and the trip to Tokyo ). Chishū Ryū and Setsuko Hara star in all three films, even if they are not the same people. After Late Spring was very successful, the Shochiko manufacturing company wanted to produce a similar story of Ozu.
The family drama is one of the director's most typical films. You can call Late Spring the archetype of the repetitive themes of Ozu's films, so to speak.
Reviews
