1951 Japanese film by Yasujirō Ozu
Early Summer (麥秋, Bakushū; lit. "Barley Harvest Time") is a 1951 Japanese drama film directed and co-written by Yasujirō Ozu, and starring Setsuko Hara, Shūji Sano, Chikage Awashima, Chishū Ryū, Kuniko Miyake and Haruko Sugimura.
Like most of Ozu's post-war films, Early Summer deals with issues ranging from communication problems between generations to the rising role of women in post-war Japan. The plot concerns Noriko (Hara), a woman who lives contentedly in an extended family household that includes her parents and her brother's family, but an uncle's visit prompts the family to find her a husband.
