Ozu looks (again) at family and marriage in postwar Japan, and the changing attitudes towards marriage, reflected in the changes that happen in the family in the film. Almost a tearjerker!

The contrast between the traditional and the modern Japanese woman is the main theme of this wonderful, "everyday life" film.

Revisiting Ozu, as I do fairly frequently, is of course always a relief from current frenetic visual styles, as well as a bittersweet glimpse into a world quite gone - that of the traditional Japanese family. And this director's "less is more" approach to every facet of the business is always a vivid reminder of how vapid and self-congratulatory are the excessive gestures of, say, a Quentin Tarentino - whose work I will NOT be revisiting with any frequency at all.

A seemingly simple but incredibly deep look at family and generations, from one of the masters of cinema.

The best movie about family life I have ever seen next to Tokyo Story. This is in fact the first Ozu film I've seen but it became the basis in watching the rest of his films and connecting with them. Truly my favourite director of all time and one to emulate for his simplicity and sophistication.
