Audience Member The Ball at the Anjo House (Anjō-ke no Butōkai) is a 1947 Japanese drama film directed by Kōzaburō Yoshimura. The film won the 1947 Kinema Junpo Award for Best Film. The film stars Setsuko Hara and Masayuki Mori. Vision wrote: "this film sunset the careers of stunning Japanese actresses such as Yumeko Aizome, Keiko Tsushima and our beloved Setsuko Hara. Masayuki Mori was a bad ass. The conspiracies at the ball were well performed. The music was immersive and fitting. The story was touching and original. Very poignant. Moving. Intelligent. Four fries!" Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/11/25 Full Review Audience Member A post-war Japan film shot with a great heart - beautiful camera works and a family setting worth comparing with Orson Welles' "The Magnificent Ambersons". Yoshimura is a director worth rediscovering. Star Yoshimura ??? became Ozu's best cast.
