Yasujiro Ozu’s film stars Chishu Ryu and Setsuko Hara (both of whom can be seen in Ozu’s Tokyo Story, also showing on FilmFour this month). He is a widower, she his daughter and the two live together amicably enough until he decides she should be married and sets about arranging one. Behind this simple plot, Ozu shows the pair’s essential humanity even when each is implacably opposed to the other’s wishes. In Japanese with subtitles., A widower (Chishu Ryu) living with his unmarried daughter tells her he plans to wed again. Noriko: Setsuko Hara. Masa Taguchi: Haruko Sugimura. Huichi Hattori: Jun Usami. Directed by Yasujiro Ozu., Veteran Japanese writer/director Yasujiro Ozu’s second postwar production was 1949’s Late Spring or Banshun. Chisu Ryu plays another of Ozu’s realistic middle-class types, this time a widower with a marriageable daughter. Not wishing to see the girl resign herself to spinsterhood, Ryu pretends that he himself is about to be married. The game plan is to convince the daughter that they’ll be no room for her at home, thus forcing her to seek comfort and joy elsewhere. What makes this homey little domestic episode work is the rapport between Chisu Ryu and Setsuko Hara, who plays the daughter. Late Spring is no facile Hollywood farce; we like these people, believe in them, and wish them the best.
