Finally, I can call Yasujiro Ozu one of my favorite directors. This early film doesn't have the beautiful color cinematography of GOOD MORNING, or the lovely compositions of TOKYO TWILIGHT, but it more than makes up for it with its heart and relevance. He is difficult to get into, yes, but he grows on you with time and experience. I expect the next film I see by him to be one of my all time favorites.

Early silent comedy from Ozu, which makes for irresistibly charming screwball fare. His sense of comedic timing seems remarkably natural, and with that, his directing of his actors too. The film later evolves into a poignant tale of family, hardship and simply, life, set against the backdrop of the Depression and holding a surprising amount of depth and emotion; subsequently elevating the entire piece beyond merely being a cute diversion.
