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. Ozu'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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaternal authority is unquestionably ascendant in Ozu's powerful war-time drama \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThere Was a Father\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e which is also included here.
