    although this film is a reworking of ozu's 1949 film "early spring", it also bears some striking similarities to equinox flower in terms of theme, actors, and set designs which were identical in some cases. the film started slow and i was unsure how it would turn out, by the end...( read more) it had become an epic romantic drama that drew some strong emotion. unlike ozu's usual approach which focuses specifically on family strife, this film is about families but deals more with romance. the film also fuses comedy into the drama to a far greater degree than the typical ozu film causing me to laugh out loud on more than one occasion. a beautiful film.

I always find tha...( read more)t it holds me and really manages to twist me about.

    Just as perfect as Ozu's other color pictures. If you're interested in watching an Ozu film, I think tis one is the most accessible for all audience

    Ozu's Gilmore Girls. This might be my favorite of the Late Ozu set. A lot of these themes are revisited in the darker The End of Summer.
