There Was a Father
父ありき (original)
Yasujiro Ozu’s frequent leading man Chishu Ryu is riveting as Shuhei, a widowed high school teacher who finds that the more he tries to do what is best for his son’s future, the more they are separated. Though primarily a delicately wrought story of parental love, THERE WAS A FATHER offers themes of sacrifice that were deemed appropriately patriotic by Japanese censors at the time of its release during World War II, making it a uniquely political film in Ozu’s body of work.
Starring Chishū Ryū, Shūji Sano, Haruhiko Tsuda, Shin Saburi, Takeshi Sakamoto, Mitsuko Mito, Masayoshi Otsuka, Shinichi Himori, Seiji Nishimura, Reikô Tani
It's a drama and romance movie, and has a rating of 7.6 out of 10 from Imdb which is usually fine for this kind of movie.
