Repast

Japan Setsuko Hara d/M. Naruse

Lovely drama which focused on the inner working of a marriage. After five years the bloom is off the rose and a crisis develops when a young niece comes for an extended visit.

Quiet realistic film with the superb Hara stepping a bit out of her usual persona and giving a nuanced performance as a woman facing the end of her illusions.

Another gem from a master.
