• Equinox Flower / There Was a F | Blu Ray | (17/01/2011) from £17.62   |  Saving you £2.37 (13.45%)   |  RRP £19.99

  From acclaimed Japanese master Yasujiro Ozu (Tokyo Story) comes this much loved family comedy. Shin Saburi plays Wataru Hirayama an old-fashioned father whose outwardly liberal views on marriage are severely tested when his daughter tells him she wants a love match. Outwitted and outflanked by his wily female relatives Hirayama stubbornly refuses to admit defeat. The director's playful use of colour poetry and arch humour combine to make this tale of old versus new at once deeply moving and razor-sharp. Also contains full length feature There Was a Father Ozu's powerful war-time drama as an extra.

  Yasujiro Ozu's captivating final film An Autumn Afternoon displays the master director's skills at their consummate best.

A cast of colourful characters weave seamlessly in and out of the story highlighting themes of loneliness and fear for the future with deep poignancy and ironic humour. Ozu's rarely-seen post-war film A Hen in the Wind (1948) is also included here. In a Japan recently devastated by WWII a devoted but near destitute mother waits for her husband's demobilisation. When her son falls seriously ill she turns to prostitution to pay his hospital bills.
