Description
[Machine Translation] To commemorate the 120th anniversary of Yasujiro Ozu's birth, the digitally restored version of "The Soho Sisters" screened at the 76th Cannes International Film Festival will be released on Blu-ray! The Souhou Sisters (1950) had its world premiere at the 76th Cannes International Film Festival's Classics section (Cannes Classics) in a 4K digitally restored version along with The Nagaya Gentlemen's Record (1947/Shochiku) to commemorate the 120th anniversary of Yasujiro Ozu's birth. This was the first film Ozu was invited to make outside of his home base, Shochiku, and the only film shot at New Toho. Based on the novel of the same title by Jiro Obutsu, this masterpiece contrasts the old-fashioned older sister with the younger sister who lives freely, and brings into sharp relief the image of the Japanese family in the postwar period. We hope you will enjoy this masterpiece, which has been revived with the same vividness as the new version, with clearer images and sound down to the finest details. --Setsuko (Kinuyo Tanaka) runs a bar in Ginza to support her unemployed husband. One day, her younger sister Mariko (Takamine Hideko) reunites with her old friend Tashiro (Uehara Ken) while her father is recuperating in Kyoto. Mariko knew of Tashiro's friendship with her sister by reading her sister's diary, so she visits Tashiro...
