The Flavor of Green Tea Over Rice (Criterion Collection)

For simple pleasures-loving Tokyo salaryman Mokichi (Shin Saburi) and his grasping, snobbish spouse Taeko (Michiyo Kogure), the magic had long since left their union. After a disruptive stay from their willful niece Setsuko (Keiko Tsushima)--who’s balking at an arranged marriage, and pointing at them as justification--the clashing couple might have their chance at reconciliation. Gently wry observation from Yasujiro Ozu co-stars Kôji Tsuruta, Chishû Ryû. 116 min. Standard; Soundtrack: Japanese; Subtitles: English; bonus feature "What Did the Lady Forget?" (1937); bonus short "Ozu & Noda: The Tateshina Diaries" (2019); featurette. In Japanese with English subtitles. Two-disc set.
