These rare early films from Yasujiro Ozu are considered by many to be two of the Japanese director&s finest works, paving the way for a career among the most sensitive and significant in cinema. The Only Son and There Was a Father make a graceful pair, bookending a crucial period in Japanese history. In the former, Ozu&s first sound film, made during a time of intense economic crisis, a mother sacrifices her own happiness for her son&s education; the latter, released in the midst of World War II, stars Ozu stalwart Chishu Ryu as a widowed schoolteacher whose devotion to his son ends up driving them apart. Criterion proudly presents these nearly lost treasures for the first time on home video.
