Yet another Ozu perfection. It's really amazing how he just KNOWS how to make such great films so easily.

In my sojourn through Ozu-san's work, it has been difficult to pick a favourite, as it seems like there is one for how I feel at different points in my life. Right now this has to be it, having seen my fair share, it almost feels like a culmination of what I've seen of his. From the opening shot to its closing moments, it just felt special. A lot of the scenes with the kids were laugh-out loud funny, too. <',))(

Possibly my favorite film, a brilliant commentary on time, loss, and acceptance. Brilliant.

Love this. The ordinariness of the family. The bossy brother who comes around to his sister's choice. The wife who holds things together. An old married couple who love each other. Walking on the beach. Every little community has its golden moment, then it disperses as its members have to move on.

Children who don't get what they want act like adults who get what they want. Ozu juxtaposes youthful materialism with (seemingly) mature traditionalism highlighting that values change, but people don't. Perceived needs distract us from actual needs, breed confusion and resentment, leave us tired and disappointed. And there's so much more to this brilliant film....

I'm drained. Is this how children feel when they watch action movies or thrillers?Wow.

I wasn't "sold" on Ozu when I started the film, about half-way it "clicked," and by the end of the film I was holding back (manly) tears.

I agree with Rudi and Gringo, this is my favorite Ozu as well. There is not a single wasted scene in it.
