Tora-san’s Dear Old Home

Film · Monthly Classics · Tora-san 50th Anniversary

Friday, October 4, 7 PM

While passing through the historic city of Kanazawa, Tora-san encounters three young women on vacation who all take delight in his boisterous hijinks, especially Utako (Sayuri Yoshinaga). When she shows up in Shibamata for more entertaining distractions, Tora-san is more than delighted to oblige his newfound "Madonna," but Utako soon confides that her father refuses her marriage to the man she loves back home. Heartbroken yet ever-well-intentioned, Tora-san resolves to set the matter straight. New 4K restoration.

1972, 108 min., DCP, color, in Japanese with English subtitles. Directed by Yoji Yamada. With Kiyoshi Atsumi, Sayuri Yoshinaga.
