The simple storyline can't convey the many amazing scenes you get in an Ozu film that few other filmmakers are capable of delivering.

If you want to know who Yasujiro Ozu was and what he was all about, this is a great place to start.
06/20/07
With subtle precision, Ozu shows how personal and national anxieties seep through infinite lives. Yet this impeccably acted movie is far from depressing, since the filmmaker stresses that mistakes aren't irreversible.

Top CriticImpressively shot, thought-provoking and funny, this low-key but intelligent character piece is made with Ozu's considerable attention to detail.
06/20/07
A typically low-key domestic drama in Ozu's mournful, defeatist vein.
06/20/07
A casual yet meticulously detailed reconstruction of Japan's routinized white-collar milieu.
