“In this video, we take a closer look at the classic Japanese film Late Spring, directed by the legendary Yasujirō Ozu and starring Chishū Ryū and Setsuko Hara. This film is considered a masterpiece of world cinema, and for good reason. With its poignant story of family dynamics, generational differences, and the changing roles of women in post-war Japan, Late Spring is a film that will resonate with audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
The performances by Ryū and Hara are both outstanding, with Ryū’s portrayal of a loving but overprotective father and Hara’s portrayal of a young woman torn between filial duty and personal desire being particularly notable. Ozu’s use of static shots and low-angle compositions creates a sense of calm and tranquility that is in stark contrast to the emotional turmoil that is taking place on screen.
If you’re a fan of world cinema or interested in the work of Yasujirō Ozu, Late Spring is a must-see. It’s a poignant and powerful film that will stay with you long after the credits have rolled.
