Abstract
Abstract
Social exchanges in Japan tend to be formal and follow prescribed rituals. In Bean Cake, gender representation reflects the rigid order of the Japanese society of 1933. But, as a story of pure love, aesthetically influenced by the cinema of Ozu, the film shows the feminine bedrock of that society.
