Setsuko Hara stars as Noriko, a 27-year-old woman, perfectly happily living quietly at home with her widower father, Shukichi (Chishû Ryû). But her interfering aunt Masa (Haruko Sugimura) is determined to see Noriko married off... Late Spring is a poignant and meditative masterpiece from one of Japan's - and indeed the world's - greatest filmmakers.
