More about this event:
The visit is motivated by the devastating news the wife learns, but keeps secret: her husband is terminally ill. Though indebted to Ozu for its central action, Dorrie's tale ultimately focuses on how a young Japanese Butoh dancer helps the surviving spouse transcend grief and celebrate life as an ongoing process of self-discovery. In English, German, and Japanese with English subtitles. 124 minutes.
Following each screening, Dr. Arthur Nolletti will lead a lively discussion on the evening's feature.
