An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Japanese "B2" Movie Poster (measures 20 1/4" x 28 5/8" [51 x 73 cm]) (Learn More) Tokyo Boshoku (released in English-speaking countries as "Tokyo Twilight"), the 1957 Yasujiro Ozu Japanese family relationship single parent melodrama (about a seemingly single father of two adult daughters, one divorced with a child and the other pregnant, searching for the boyfriend who impregnated her, and THEN the mother the daughters were told died long ago resurfaces!) starring Setsuko Hara, Ineko Arima, Chishu Ryu, Isuzu Yamada, and Teiji Takahashi. This is one of director Ozu's darkest movies, and it shows a very different side of him from many of his best known movies! Also note that Yasujiro Ozu was a legendary Japanese writer and director from 1920s to the 1960s. He is likely the second best regarded Japanese director after Akira Kurosawa, and many of his films are considered classics, and his masterpiece is "Tokyo Story" from 1953, although he made movies from 1927 to 1962. First release Japanese posters of any kind from any of his movies are beyond rare! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
