I’m finding that I have to view Ozu’s movies more than one time in order to judge them with any justice. So I will have to watch this one again soon. Some of the moments in the movie with the two boys are funny. Ozu is spot-on with the mannerisms of children. I love the scene where the adults are eating cake at night, and the one boy wakes to go to the bathroom, and they all hide their cake underneath the table so the boy won’t see it.
