Description
[Machine Translation] The eternal love between father and daughter. This is a literary masterpiece by Sayuri Yoshinaga, who won the Art Academy Literary Award for her masterpiece. Based on a novel by Obutsu Jiro, which was published in Mainichi Shimbun in 1948 and was an outstanding success as a newspaper novel. Yoshinaga Sayuri, who has been expanding her artistic horizons to become a great actress through Ishizaka's literature, Kawabata's literature, and Dazai's literature, attempted her 50th film, "Homecoming". The film depicts a father and daughter's affectionate love for each other as the two women's feelings waver over the father's sudden return to Japan for the first time in ten years. The film is a masterful portrayal of the soul of an actress who, despite being surrounded by great actors such as Masayuki Mori as the lonely father and Mieko Takamine as the mother, is able to hold her own against the rest. Directed by Katsumi Nishikawa, the master of "Izu no Odoriko" (The Dancing Girl of Izu), this film is based on a critique of material civilization and has an ambitious touch. To commemorate the 65th anniversary of Sayuri Yoshinaga's screen debut, the long-awaited DVD release of this timeless masterpiece is now available! --One day, Tomoko (Sayuri Yoshinaga), who works for a magazine company, has a father who was a diplomat, but he was supposed to have died in Cuba. One day, she visits the gallery of Saeko Takano (Misako Watanabe), a famous art dealer, to request a manuscript, and Saeko tells her that she has met her real father, Kyogo (Masayuki Mori). Saeko and Kyogo had met in Cuba, where Saeko had betrayed Kyogo, who had cooperated with the revolution, and tipped off the government forces. This left a deep scar in Saeko's heart. Then, when she is informed that Kyogo has returned to Japan, Banko is torn between the thought of her mother's hardship and her adoration for her own father... Picture disc specification.
