only one remake of "late spring" has so far been filmed: a television movie, produced to celebrate ozu's centennial, entitled "a daughter's marriage" ("musume no kekkon"), directed by the distinguished filmmaker kon ichikawa and produced by the japanese pay television channel wowow. it was broadcast on december 14, 2003, two days after the 100th anniversary of ozu's birth (and 40th anniversary of his death). ichikawa, a younger contemporary of ozu's, was 88 years old at the time of the broadcast. the film recreated various idiosyncrasies of the late director's style. for example, ichikawa included many shots with vividly red objects, in imitation of ozu's well-known fondness for red in his own color films (although "late spring" was not itself shot in color).
