Content:
The life of the salaried office-worker in modern Japan is a theme often treated by Japanese films, but never with the devastating horoughness of Early Spring. A young man is bored with the dreary predictability of his job and his marriage and succumbs to an affair with the office flirt. He and his wife quarrel He is transferred out of Tokyo to Osaka. His wife comes back to him and they agree to start over. The story, as such, is so slight that its choice seems purposeful, Ozu chossing it so that he could reconstruct a full study of the caracters undistracted by irrelevant ploy complications. It is about nothing at all, yet told with such subtlety and comapssion that the experience becomes a very moving one.
