Late Spring (Yasujiro Ozu, 1949)
Ornamental Hairpin (Hiroshi Shimizu, 1941)
On top is the image of Chishu Ryu that most of us are familiar with—fatherly, smiling, and most importantly: under heavy makeup in order to look old. Below, eight years before Late Spring, is Chishu Ryu in the first role I’ve ever seen him play as a man his own, youthful age—in Ornamental Hairpin, aged 36—and hot damn, look at that handsome devil. Black, slick head of hair and all. Unfortunately, there aren’t many close-ups of him despite his position as the leading man and romantic interest, but this is still closer than I’m used to getting to a younger image of an actor I respect very much.

Three Times (2005, Taiwan) Directed by: Hou Hsiao-Hsien
1) A Time for Love
(Chinese: 戀愛夢; pinyin: liàn ài mèng) Set in Kaohsiung in 1966, with dialogue in Taiwanese Hokkien.
2) A Time for Freedom
(Chinese: 自由夢; pinyin: zì yóu mèng) Set in Dadaocheng in 1911, with dialogue presented only through on-screen captions. The theme of freedom joins with the theme of love - the young courtesan dreams of liberty and Taiwan itself at this time was occupied by the Japanese.
3) A Time for Youth
(Chinese: 青春夢; pinyin: qīng chūn mèng) Set in Taipei in 2005, with dialogue in Mandarin.[x]
