LATE SPRING (1949)

Cast

Plot

The first in Yasujiro Ozu's Noriko trilogy which culminated in probably his best known work Tokyo Story. Late Spring centres on the story of a young Japanese woman, who sacrifices her dreams of independence to remain a faithful and dotting servant to the needs of her family, and in particular her father. An exquisite and tenderly observed tale by a director now regarded as one of 20th Century cinema's greats.
