Passing Fancy
The first of many films featuring the endearing single-dad Kihachi (played wonderfully by Takeshi Sakamoto), PASSING FANCY is a humorous and heartfelt study of a close, if fraught, father-son relationship. With an ever more sophisticated visual style and understanding of fragile human relationships, Ozu seamlessly weaves rib-tickling comedy and weighty family drama for this distinguished precursor to a brilliant career.
Starring Takeshi Sakamoto, Tomio Aoki, Nobuko Fushimi, Den Obinata, Chōko Iida, Reikô Tani, Seiji Nishimura, Seiichi Katô, Ryūji Ishiyama, Chishū Ryū
