No Regrets for Our Youth
Drama
Yukie, the well-bred daughter of a university professor, is shocked when her father is relieved of his post for his political teachings during a purge of anti-militarism in pre-war Kyoto. Years go by as she is courted by two of her father's former students; one a fiery leftist, the other more moderate and equable.
VIBE
A tender, earnest look at youthful idealism clashing with political reality. It feels like a wistful memory, a quiet contemplation of love and sacrifice amidst societal upheaval. The film is a gentle, thoughtful exploration of growing up and standing for your beliefs.
