CGV will hold a special exhibition of Yasujir? Ozu's films from the 28th of this month to the 11th of next month. Four representative works will be screened at twenty-one arthouse theaters nationwide. The black-and-white films "Late Spring (1949)," "The Flavor of Green Tea over Rice (1952)," and "Tokyo Story (1953)" have been digitally remastered, along with the color film "Good Morning (1959)." Yeo Gwang-jin, CGV's programming team leader, said, "Each film delicately portrays everyday life and family relationships," adding, "We prepared this to provide a time to reflect on the meaning of family and daily life."

Ozu is considered one of the three great masters of Japanese cinema alongside Akira Kurosawa and Kenji Mizoguchi. "Late Spring" is a drama that finely captures the emotions of a daughter who refuses to marry because she worries about her widowed professor father who has raised her alone. The film is praised for its refined and neat mise-en-sc?ne. "The Flavor of Green Tea over Rice" tells the story of a husband who only cares about work and a wife who feels no affection for him, who reconcile after a certain incident. It resolves the estranged marital relationship through the everyday dish of ochazuke.

"Tokyo Story" is Ozu's representative work that even inspired remakes. It follows the footsteps of an elderly couple who travel to Tokyo to visit their married children living there. "Good Morning" is a comedy that highlights the various small and large incidents occurring among neighbors in a closely-knit village. Brothers who want a television stage a silent protest, leading to unexpected events.
