Product Information


導演︰小津安二郎
Director: Yasujiro Ozu

　　平山周吉和登美是一對上了年紀的夫婦，倆口子的生活略感孤獨寂寞無聊，於是決定往東京一行，探望已經成家立室的兒女。他們興緻勃勃地抵達，但卻受到頗為冷淡的招待。兒子、媳婦、女兒、女婿都因生活的重壓而相當忙碌，無暇招呼兩老，因此建議他們去熱海渡假，表面上是讓他們有個鬆弛和遊覽的機會，實際上卻是希望擺脫他們。只有年輕守寡的媳婦紀子，對他們比較關懷和體貼。

　　就在兩老返回老家不久，兒女們便接到母親病重的電報。他們遂回鄉探訪病勢危殆的母親，後者已經無法辨認他們。葬禮之後，兒女們又匆匆忙忙地趕著回東京，只有紀子多留數天，陪伴暮年喪偶的老人家。紀子承認守寡對她而言是相當困難的事，老人便勸她改嫁。然後，平山老先生孤獨地守在屋裡，想著他將要渡過的孤苦的晚年。

　　Japanese master Yasujiro Ozu’s economical style reaches its zenith in this deceptively simple 1953 story of an elderly couple in rural Japan who go to visit their married children in Tokyo. They find a cold welcome from their two urbanized children who were too busy with work and their own lives to pay them any attention. After an unpleasant trip to a noisy spa, the mother spends a pleasant night with the widow of their other son (who had died in the war). But on their return trip, she falls ill and the family reunites one last time at her sickbed. Within this simple framework, Ozu creates a quiet but profound drama of the changing face of Japanese culture and the loss of traditional values in modern society. Ozu’s graceful style, understated direction, and rich evocation of character creates an elegantly realized world of dignity in the face of disappointment and loss.
