Tora-San Goes French

In this charming installment of the beloved Otoko wa Tsurai yo series, Kiyoshi Atsumi stars as Torajirō Kuruma, aka Tora-san, who watches over his family's shop while they take a vacation to Kyushu. Upon returning from their trip, Tora-san reunites with an old friend and discovers the artistic charms of his sister Ritsuko (Keiko Kishi), but alas, her heart remains closed to him. A delightful blend of humor, wit, and poignancy, this 1973 comedy film showcases Yoji Yamada's signature touch as a master of gentle storytelling.
