Early Summer (Plus added feature: "What Did the Lady Forget?") (1951) |
<<back |

The Mamiya family are seeking a husband for their daughter, Noriko. But Noriko, played by the extraordinary Setsuko Hara, is a modern woman and has ideas of her own. She is not particularly enthusiastic about marrying—even mocking her married friends—but, when her brother proposes a potential suitor, she impulsively chooses a local widower. This simultaneously delights and disappoints her family, and affects each of their lives tremendously. Early Summer is one of Yasujiro Ozu's more complex works—a subtly-nuanced, at times comedic examination of the changes in all our lives—and stands as a loose prelude to his masterpiece Tokyo Story.
Special added feature : "What Did the Lady Forget?" was Ozu's second only sound film. It was transferred and restored in standard definition from the best available film elements. *MR
