Otsu Yasu Ni Ro Meisaku Eiga Shu 10 + 10 05 (Shogakukan DVD BOOK)

[Machine Translation] In the movie "Autumn Sunshine", "Mother in Love", and "Autumn Sunshine" (1960), the highlight is the meddling of three elderly gentlemen (Toshinobu Sabu, Noburo Nakamura, and Ryuji Kita) over the marriage of a beautiful widowed mother (Setsuko Hara) and her daughter (Yoko Tsukasa). In fact, they all have feelings for the mother whom they once admired, and they are all so nervous about her that they try to escape from her. It is a sophisticated comedy, but Ozu's humorous dialogue subtly touches on the truths of life. It is well worth seeing. In "Mother in Love" (1934), a son suddenly becomes rebellious when he discovers that his kind mother is actually his stepmother, and wonders if she was just being cautious because of their stepmotherly relationship. Mitsuko Yoshikawa, who plays the stepmother, gives a good performance as the ideal mother. Although some of the film is missing, this is a rare surviving silent film. The commentary book includes director Masahiro Kobayashi's discussion of the highlights of Ozu's films, detailed introductions of the actors in the film, and information on the locations (Haruna Fuji, Ikaho Hot Springs, Asama Plateau).

映画「秋日和」「母を恋はずや」 「秋日和」 (昭和35年) は、美しい未亡人の母 (原節子) と娘 (司葉子) の結婚をめぐって、初老の紳士3人組 (佐分利信、中村信郎、北竜二)が、さまざまなお節介をやくのが見どころ。じつは、みんな、かつて憧れたその母親に気があって、ソワソワしたり、抜けがけを試みたり。洗練された喜劇ですが、ユーモラスな会話の中で、人生の真実にさりげなく触れるところは、さすが小津監督! 見応えがあります。「母を恋はずや」 (昭和9年) では、優しい母親がじつは継母と知った息子が、義理の関係であるから気を遣っていたのではないか、と急に反抗的になります。継母を演じる吉川満子が理想の母親を好演。フィルムが一部欠けていますが、貴重な現存サイレント作品です。解説本では、小林政広監督が語る小津映画の見どころ、出演俳優の詳しい紹介、ロケ地 (榛名富士、伊香保温泉、浅間高原) 情報などを掲載しています。
