One of Ozu's last films, and also one of his best and most multi-faceted, taking place in Osaka rather than Tokyo area, and featuring the Ozu hallmarks of family, subtle detail, the modernization and Westernization of Japan, and a serene warmth. Masterful.

A very 'ooooh' type of film for me because yet another wonderful featuring of Setsuko but also from two other actresses I adore, Michiyo Aratama and Youko Tsukasa. First Ozu color film for me and it was absolutely stunning to see the mise-en-scene artfully used. The film felt like a beautiful realistic painting come to life.

Two beautiful daughters getting marriage proposals, the parent making escapades, another window into the life of a Japanese family. Another master piece by Ozu.

Of all the Ozu films I've seen, this is the one with which Doris Dörrie's Cherry Blossoms has the most parallels. Beautiful

Ozu’s films are like rice. Some are fried rice. Some are udon with white or brown rice on the side. And some are sushi with saki; like Equinox Flower. The End of Summer is just plain white rice. Simple, like all of Ozu’s films, but also very bland. I love Japanese culture, but I don't care for Ozu's films. They really aren't very Japanese, no matter what the cult says.
