 Eclipse Series #3 - Late Ozu (Early Spring / Tokyo Twilight / Equinox Flower / Late Autumn / The End of Summer) (Criterion Collection) $69.95 A great set of films for those who enjoy post-war Japanese cinema (late 1950's early 1960's). Three of the films start Hara, Setsuko, the premier Japanese actress of this period. Those looking for Samurai action should skip this series as the series, and many of Ozu's films, focus on family life in post-war Japan. The films reflect Japanese life and traditions and the transition between generations in the mid-twentieth century. The first two films are in black and white, the other three reflect the transition to color at the turn of the decade. We enjoyed both formats. All films are in Japanese with English subtitles. |
