The 1949 Japanese film Late Spring (晩春) will play at the Row House Lawrenceville from December 6 through 11, part of the theater's Slice of Life series.
In this moving family drama from Yasugiro Ozo, Noriko is perfectly happy living at home with her widowed father and has no plans to marry – that is, until her aunt Masa convinces her father that unless he marries off his 27-year-old daughter soon, she will likely remain alone for the rest of her life. When Noriko resists Masa’s matchmaking, Shukichi is forced to deceive his daughter and sacrifice his own happiness to do what he believes is right.Tickets are available online. The single-screen theater is located at 4115 Butler St. (map).
