Language: Feature soundtrack in Japanese with optional English subtitles. Audio commentary in English. Rating: OFLC rating: G. Summary: A father wishes his daughter to marry; she would prefer to stay with him in this moving late Ozu film, which was one of his personal favourites. From a close reading of this and other Ozu films, both David Bordwell and Kristin Thompson have persuasively argued that Ozu's style is neither symbolic nor peculiarly 'Japanese' but is singular in its artistically motivated, nuanced precision and unpredictability. They also argue that while firmly centred on the 'home' film, Ozu's ideological concerns, in Late Spring far from being conservative and nostalgic for the patriarchal family are liberal in the context of postwar Japanese culture.
