Acteurist Oeuvre-View Season 2 Setsuko Hara: The Idiot (1951) & Early Summer (1951)

Published: July 31, 2020, 5:05 a.m.

This time on our oeuvre-view of Setsuko Hara's (English-subtitled) career, Kurosawa's The Idiot/Hakuchi, based on Dostoevsky, is paired with Ozu's Early Summer for maximum tonal dissonance. Our heroine proves her range again\u2014even with her Noriko roles. Join us for a discussion of sexual psychosis and tragic caritas in The Idiot and the perverse obsession with normalizing Noriko in Early Summer.
