    The flip side of Early Spring, here the spoiled wife is becomes bored of her kindhearted and down-to-earth husband. The only flaw I find is that it's hard to believe that the wife thinks her husband as dumb rather than the kind and tolerant person that he is, and having to lie to...( read more) go out with her friends. It's pretty clear from this film that Ozu was very sympathetic to the younger generation and the new progressive ideals of love and marriage.

    Another wonderful character study of everyday life and ordinary people by Ozu. A lot of critics say Ozu is "the most Japanese" of the directors of that era and that his films are difficult to relate to for foreigners, but I disagree. Essentially, his films are about people and, m...( read more)ost importantly, the family unit and how it functions. This is hardly an uniquely Japanese issue and can easily be relevant to non-Japanese, then and today. I'd recommend this film to anyone who wants to see a film meditating on fraying relationship between a married couple as they pass through their respective middle-age and how the youth who are considering marriage are influenced and affected by the behavior of their elders.

    Interessantissimo. Il Giappone e come ce lo immaginiamo noi orientali è tutto condensato in questo lavoro.

La coppia e i problemi che un matrimonio combinato può portare vengono poi a risolversi in un lieto fine commovente ed elegante, ma non del tutto consolatore. Il film scorre lento le inquadrature sono spesso fisse, ma c'è da considerare anche il fatto che Ozu viene dal cinema muto e nei suoi lavori con il sonoro mantiene inalterata una certa attenzione per l'espressività dei personaggi e la fotografia. Grandioso regista una pietra miliare del cinema giapponese e mondiale di cui scrivono "Ciò che conta per Ozu è la tragedia del vivere quotidiano, universale, senza tempo, scevra da eccessi melodrammatici, che nonostante il cattivo odore rivela tutto il suo gustoso sapore solo se viene assaggiata, come con una ciotola di riso al tè verde."
