The Flavor of Green Tea Over Rice
(Ochazuke no Aji)

Screening on Film

Directed by Yasujiro Ozu.
With Shin Saburi, Michiyo Kogure and Koji Tsuruta.
Japan, 1952, 16mm, black & white, 115 min.
Japanese with English subtitles.

A moving portrait of a middle-aged, middle-class couple who realizes that their arranged relationship is growing stale, this is certainly one of Ozu’s most light-hearted films. As he examines the tradition of the arranged marriage, Ozu departs from his traditional style, employing frequent camera movement and showing both internal and external action, including baseball games, car rides and train trips. A subtle and delicate story of rekindled love and optimism.
