国产又黑又粗又大又爽

吉村公三郎代表作，也是苏珊．桑塔最喜爱的日本经典片之一。吉村爱向难度挑战，喜欢实验，讨厌被归类，是松竹的坏孩子，却因此为日本电影开创出不少可能性。影片描写日本战後，末落贵族变卖大宅前举行的最後一场舞会。吉村亲历这样的一个舞会，他用所见所感，写出一个个玲珑浮凸的人物：恋栈风光的父亲，目空一切的儿子，不肯放下身段的大女儿...道尽大时代的种种细碎。也是原节子代表作，这个洞悉世情的次女儿与父亲起舞，成为全片焦点，也为时代作了精采的解读。　　World War II is over, and the once-prominent Anjo family has fallen on hard times. They must finally sell the family home - but not before one last ball to recapture their glory days. However, old secrets and high emotions threaten to turn the evening into tragedy. Proud patriarch Tadahiko (Takizawa) can barely keep his unruly offspring in check, and tries every last trick to keep the house where he has spent the happiest years of his life. In his darkest hour, daughter Atsuko (frequent Ozu heroine, Hara Setsuko) shows her beleaguered father the hard-won dignity in starting over.　　SummerIFF 2007
