(aka 'The Brothers and Sisters of the Toda Family. or 'Todake no kyodai')
Japan 19
This 1941 film is one of the few upper-class family dramas by Japanese master Yasujiro Ozu, and the domestic furnishings and how they're framed help make it one of his most visually ravishing works. The events center on the untimely death of the father.

| Comments: |
This is labeled on the spine #17 which may related to being their seventeenth Ozu film brought to DVD. It is quite a worn print but the scratches, dirt and damage, are more consistent, but of less drastic detriment (see last large capture). It is there, but not as severe as we have seen on some of the other old Ozu releases. Subtitles, although somewhat lacking in an even translation flow (possibly too literal?), appeared to be slightly better than many of the earlier Panorama Ozu's with less frequent mistakes in grammar and spelling. We would all love to see this beautiful film put out by Criterion on DVD one day, but it looks doubtful as the cleaning process would be quite expensive and it probably wouldn't be cost-effective. Hopefully our screen captures will soften any high expectations that you might have and you will enjoy this DVD for the films intrinsic beauty. |
