Late Spring (1949)

Noriko is perfectly happy living at home with her widowed father, Shukichi, and has no plans to marry -- that is, until her aunt Masa convinces Shukichi that unless he marries off his 27-year-old daughter soon, she will likely remain alone for the rest of her life. When Noriko resists Masa's matchmaking, Shukichi is forced to deceive his daughter and sacrifice his own happiness to do what he believes is right.

God, Ozu's films are so simple and endearing they strike the purist in the heart. What a sweet film. I see Ozu more as a family member than as a filmmaker. I mean that in the best way possible.

It's a movie that denies sensationalism and chooses to show life as truly it is.

Another fantastic example of Ozu's work. As usual, very restrianed and very simple. Ozu examines family relationships and the social beliefs of Japan at the time. The struggles of women and the worries of fathers are all played out. Late Spring focuses on Ryu once again playing a single father, and his daughter Noriko. Many of Ozu's films deal with the effects of a marriage on a family. Here, Noriko does not want to get married. She is content with her life with her father. She enjoys looking after her father and worries about he will be able to cope without her. As it progresses Ryu must make the choice of letting his daughter go. Even if he must trick her to set her free. The great thing about Ozu is that he doesn't tell us what to think, a story is laid out in front of us with each characters emotions open to interpretation. A very moving ending, but one that doesn't try and make us cry. Slow and boring to some, Ozu is a director who has no need to try and impress his audience. Ironically, this is the most impressive thing about him.

Wow this was spectacular. Setsuko Hara gave a beautiful performance. The movie had so many emotion from joy, jealousy, sadness, happiness, and loneliness. The script along with the actors helped convey all of them perfectly. Ozu exposes us to the world of Japan. He uses various aspects like the tea ceremony as well as the traditional play. He also explores the affects of the war on Japan, including the American influence. (i.e. coca, cola sign, baseball, Gary Cooper). Another masterpiece from a brilliant director. A must see for any movie fan.
