(1957) Tokyo Twilight/ Tôkyô boshoku
(In Japanese with English subtitles)
DRAMA
Co-written and directed by Yasujirô Ozu that is somewhat outdated, but still consist of themes similar to "Floating Weeds" centering on a single father, movie veteran actor Chishu Ryu as Shukichi Sugiyama and his relationship with his 2 daughters of Akiko (Ineko Arima) and Takako (Setsuko Hara). Akiko is a college student while her older sister Takako has just left her husband with her 2 year old daughter who happens to be a writer to move in with her dad. Viewers would already know what Akiko's problem before it reveals it to the audience which is reminiscent of "Peyton Place".
