Acteurist Oeuvre-View Season 2 Setsuko Hara: Tokyo Twilight (1957) & Daughters, Wives & a Mother (1960)

Published: Oct. 16, 2020, 4:10 a.m.

On this Acteurist Oeuvre-view Setsuko Hara episode: a tight, noirish family melodrama by Ozu,\xa0Tokyo Twilight\xa0(1957),\xa0paired with a loose, sprawling family melodrama by Naruse,\xa0Daughters, Wives and a Mother\xa0(1960). The first gives us the bitterest Hara we've seen since\xa0The Idiot, while the second challenges her persona in subtler ways. Vacuum cleaners have never been sexier, nor peeing dogs more tragic.
