Phoenix Classics: Early Summer
Part of Phoenix's summer classic season. Noriko (Setsuko Hara) lives in postwar Tokyo with her extended family. Although she enjoys her career and her friends, her more traditionally minded family worries about the fact that she's still single at the advanced age of 28. When 40-year-old business associate Takako (Kuniko Igawa) proposes marriage, Noriko's family press her into accepting. But when her widowed childhood friend Kenkichi (Hiroshi Nihon'yanagi) returns to the neighborhood, she finds her heart leading in another direction. Yasujiro Ozu's elegiac final film charts the inevitable eclipse of older generations by irreverent youth. Early Summer is a wonderfully poised ensemble work which presents the intricacies and contradictions of the three generations who have lived through the end of an era and are looking towards the new.Drama/Family DramaPT2H5M12A2025-06-29Setsuko Hara
