Equinox Flower / There Was a Father (Region B) Hicksploitation/Backwoods Horror he's the abominable Jack FrostPaternal authority is the theme shared by two films by Yasujiro Ozu, one a moving and sharply ironic comedy, the other a powerful wartime drama Yasujiro Ozu's first colour film, Equinox Flower is a deft comedy that takes an ironic look at the decline of paternal authority. Shin Saburi plays Wataru Hirayama, an old fashioned father whose outwardly liberal views on marriage are severely tested when his daughter tells him she wants a love match.
