Excerpt: Late Spring Banshun) is a 1949 Japanese drama film, directed by Yasujir¿ Ozu and produced by the Shochiku studio. It is based on the short novel Father and Daughter (Chichi to musume) by the 20th century novelist and critic Kazuo Hirotsu, and was adapted for the screen by Ozu and his frequent collaborator, screenwriter Kogo Noda. The film was written and shot during the Allied Powers' Occupation of Japan and was subject to the Occupation's official censorship requirements. It stars Chishu Ryu, a performer featured in almost all of the director¿s films, and Setsuko Hara, making her first of six appearances in Ozüs cinema.

Late Spring was released in September 1949 and received very positive reviews in the Japanese press. The following year, it was awarded the prestigious Kinema Junpo critics' award as the best Japanese production released in 1949. In 1972, the film was commercially released in the United States, again to very positive reviews. Late Spring has been referred to as the director's "most perfect" work, as "the definitive film of Ozu's master filmmaking approach and language" and has been cal |
