About The Wash
An old, bigoted Japanese-American traditionalist is unable to reconcile the needs of his wife and two daughters with his own conservative view on life, which forces them to leave him in pursuit of their own happiness.
Directed by Michael Toshiyuki Uno, The Wash leans on a strong ensemble — Mako, Shizuko Hoshi, Danny Kamekona — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 1988.
