Event Description
The Makioka Sisters

The Makioka Sisters
Country: Japan
Director: Kon Ichikawa
Presented in a new, restored 35mm print, this rich, lyrical film centers on the lives of four sisters who have taken on their family’s kimono manufacturing business. Shot in rich, vivid colors, and set in the years leading up to the Pacific War, it's a graceful study of a family at a turning point in history – a poignant evocation of changing times and fading customs. The two oldest sisters are married and according to tradition, the rebellious youngest sister cannot wed until the third, who's terribly shy, finds a husband. Don't miss this gorgeous film on the big screen. (1983; 140 min) Presented in collaboration with Silk Screen Asian Film Festival.
