Später Frühling (1949)

Später Frühling: Directed by Yasujirô Ozu. With Chishû Ryû, Setsuko Hara, Yumeji Tsukioka, Haruko Sugimura. Noriko is twenty-seven years old and still living with her widowed father. Everybody tries to talk her into marrying, but Noriko wants to stay at home caring for her father.

“Iu0026#39;ve watched this film many times and love it very much. Ozu made Hara perfectly beautiful in this film. Noriko devoted her father and didnu0026#39;t want to marry because of him. He would be lonely if she married. Father and daughter lived happily together, but when she saw an elegant widow at Noh theather, she had jealousy. Hara Setsukou0026#39;s acting was perfect as Noriko who was in love with her own father. No other actress could act like that. She was only Noriko. So director Ozu didnu0026#39;t change her role name Noriko for Setsuko Hara. Noriko in Banshun(Late Spring), Noriko in Bakushu(Early Summer),Noriko in Tokyo Monogatari(Tokyo Story) and I am Noriko as Setuko Harau0026#39;s No.1 fan in Japan.”
