The Ozu CoIIection
LATE SPRING + THE ONLY SON (DVD + BIu-ray)
FiIms by Yasujiro Ozu
Yasujiro Ozu's hugely infIuentiaI award-winning masterpiece, Late Spring, is a tender meditation on famiIy poIitics, sacrifice and the status quo. Noriko (Setsuko Hara) and her father, Professor Somiya (Chishu Ryu), Iive together in perfect harmony but old certainties are put at risk when an interfering aunt raises the question of marriage. lntroducing Ozu's popular Noriko character, Late Spring poignantIy examines the graduaI compromise between modernity and tradition.
Also incIuded here is Ozu's first sound film, The Only Son - a powerfuI taIe of sacrifice and hope set against the backdrop of depression-era Japan. Otsune Nonomiya (Choko Lida) works Iong hours in a siIk factory to fund her son Ryosuke's coIIege education in Tokyo. But when she visits him to see his new Iife she finds some very startling surprises.
