Morning for the Osone Family

Keisuke Kinoshita’s first film after the end of World War II is a wrenching, superbly wrought tale about a liberal-minded Japanese family torn apart by war and imperialist politics. MORNING FOR THE OSONE FAMILY is both palpably bitter about the nation’s fresh wartime wounds and inspiringly hopeful about a democratic tomorrow.

Starring Haruko Sugimura, Eitaro Ozawa, Mitsuko Miura
