This is what cinema is about! A small scale, deeply felt, keenly observed, poignant film from one of the true masters of the medium. As told through the eyes of children, Ozu presents the everyday as melodramatic, tragic, and exhilarating. Every passage has brilliant little flourishes that make them stick in your head.
What a beautiful cinematic masterpiece. absolutely my personal favorite Ozu's film
This wonderful film was my introduction to Ozu, and I've been hooked ever since. One of the most human films I've ever seen. Vastly superior to the late period Good Morning.
