浮草

Nippon Retro   ² 

A traveling theater troupe arrives in a small seaside town where its leader Komajuro reunites with his former lover Oyoshi and their now grown-up son. As Komajuro’s colleague and current mistress Sumiko learns about this, she gets jealous and bribes young actress Kayo (Ayako WAKAO) to seduce the son. Yasujiro OZU arranges this story into a series of calmly observed everyday scenes, presented in meticulously composed shots.
