Director: Nagisa Oshima

Cast: Kenzo Kawarasaki, Atsuko Kaku, and Atsuo Nakamura

Region: ABC

When cousins Masuo and Ritsuko receive news of a family death, they gather with their clan - and memories of a lifetime of ceremonies flood back. Weddings, funerals, coming-of-age rituals: through them all, the family's patriarchal traditions and its history of arranged, even incestuous marriages have slowly crushed Masuo's every dream. As his feelings for Ritsuko grow, the past and present collapse together in what Nagisa Oshima considered his most complete statement on how Japan's own traditions oppress the young. THE CEREMONY is Oshima at his most elegant and devastating.

Presented in a new 4K restoration from the original negative.
