Review of Late Spring (2014) by Brian B — 03 Nov 2018
A truly powerful film which feels more sad the more I think of it. It appears to attack Japanese tradition by showing how the marriage of the younger generation results in the mortality of the older generation.
Both Shukichi and Noriko are pressured by society to do something which neither of them wants to do in the end. Through several somber scenes, both of them are forced to abandon their beliefs in order to conform to these societal standards.
In addition to this, Setsuko Hara gave a brilliantly subtle performance.
