A small, quiet but perfectly poised film about family relationships that distills Ozu's static style into an appealing and accessible comedy-drama.

Reviews for Late Autumn
One of the final efforts from one of the great masters of Japanese cinema.
A brilliantly conceived and acted melodramatic film filled with a quiet middle-class family's glow in love and conflict.
I'm not the world's biggest Ozu fan, but this late work is one of his finest.
The struggles between the generations pre-date the clashes of the late nineteen-sixties. However, Ozu's extraordinary sensitivity makes them deeply dramatic, all the more so because these gentle, reflective persons seem to have led unruffled lives.
