Product Information
Writer/director Yasujiro Ozu combines two of his favorite themes--the culture clashes in modern Japan and the emergence of the independent Japanese woman--in EARLY SUMMER (BAKUSHU). Setsuko Hara plays a young woman of the post-war era who is promised in an arranged marriage. But too much has happened in the world and in the girl's own life to allow her to agree to this union without protest. The characters in EARLY SUMMER are neither remote historical personages nor distant foreigners. They are types as easily recognisable in Japan as in any country, and this commonality enhances the universal appeal of this austere film. Yasujiro Ozu collaborated on the script of EARLY SUMMER with Kogo Noda.Product Identifiers
